Seasoning Recipes YOU Can Make!

I found most of these wonderful seasoning recipes from a blog called The Daily Raw Cafe. It's a site I stumbled onto when searching for some new recipes to try. The author of the site, Terilynn, has created some amazing RAW recipes that she shares on her site.

Something cool I found when browsing her site were several recipes for seasonings. I had dabbled a little with making my own, but didn't really know where to start.

Below are some basic seasoning recipes that Terilynn has allowed me to share with you. The one in particular that I want to try is the Mexican Seasoning. I love guacamole dip and think it would taste fantastic with the Mexican Seasoning!

I've shared some ideas on how you might want to incorporate the seasonings into a recipe. Terilynn also has many wonderful recipes on her sight where she uses the seasoning recipes in her dishes.

Or even better, let your creative juices start flowing and see how you can incorporate them into your dishes! Feel free to share your recipe ideas!

Italian Seasoning

Italian seasoning is something you can find pretty easily at the supermarket, even the organic kind. But... wouldn't it be even better if you could use your own herbs that you grew from your own hands.

You know exactly where the herbs came from and have the satisfaction of knowing you created it!

Ingredients:

2 tsp dried basil

2 tsp dried marjoram

2 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried sage

Directions:

Combine ingredients and store in small jar.

Poultry Seasoning

The spices in this blend remind me of Thanksgiving. It would probably taste yummy in some kind of raw "stuffing".

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp dried rosemary

1 Tbsp dried sage

1 Tbsp dried thyme

1 Tbsp dried marjoram

1 Tbsp celery seed

1 tsp ground pepper

Directions:

Combine ingredients and store in small jar.

Mexican Seasoning

I use this seasoning several times a week. Most of the time I just mash up a couple of avocados and add a teaspoon or two of this and it tastes great!

Ingredients:

2 Tbsp chili powder

1 Tbsp paprika

1 Tbsp cumin

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp sea salt

Directions:

Combine ingredients and store in small jar.

Hamburger Seasoning

I found this recipe on the Raw Freedom Community Forum. I was browsing for a good nut burger recipe and found one that called for some hamburger seasoning. Luckily for me the same thread had a recipe for the the hamburger seasoning. Can't wait to try them!

Ingredients:

2 tsp paprika

1 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

1 1/4 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp Stevia

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Directions:

Combine ingredients and store in small jar.

Apple Pie Spice Blend

This spice blend would probably taste really good blended with some sort of sweetener (agave, dates, etc) and then mixed with a bunch of sliced apples. Sort of like a cobbler. I might have to make this for my son!

Ingredients:

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp ground all spice

1/4 tsp ground cardamom

Directions:

Combine ingredients and store in small jar.

Pumpkin Pie Spice Blend

I think I found the perfect recipe for this spice! The Raw Food Talk forum has a thread with a recipe for a pumpkin pie shake that sounds delicious! There are also a few variations of the shake recipe that sound really good!

A dash or two in some sweet almond milk is really good too! Place it in the dehydrator for an hour or so and you'll have a pumpkin latte!
