Savory Spice Blend

From The How Not to Die Cookbook.  It's integral to a lot of recipes from that cookbook. 

Ingredients
2 tbs nutritional yeast
1 tbs onion powder
1 tbs dried parsley
1 tbs dried basil
2 tsp dried thyme
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp dry mustard (mustard powder)
2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1/2 tsp celery seeds

Directions

1) Combine all the ingredients in a spice grinder or blender (I have a cheap coffee grinder I only use for spices) to mix well and pulverize the dried herbs and spices.  Transfer the blend to a shaker bottle or jar with a tight-fitting lid.  Store in a cool, dry place.

Vegan Chik'n Soup Seasoning

I found this recipe for making chicken-style broth without the meat on Food.com.  I plan to use it to flavor tofu.  I replaced the garlic salt with garlic powder to make the saltiness easier to control.

Ingredients

1 cup nutritional yeast
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon onion salt
1/2 teaspoon sage
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
3 tablespoons parsley flakes (rubbed to a powder)
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons celery salt
1/4 teaspoon savory

Directions

 

1.  Mix all ingredients well in a bowl. Store in an airtight container.

 

2. Use 1 tbs seasoning mix per 1 cup of liquid.

Kid-Friendly Creole Seasoning

This recipe comes from a reviewer of a Creole Seasoning Blend on AllRecipes.com.  Since I've made so many things that call for Creole seasoning lately, I'm making a batch of this so I don't have to worry about the level of heat I'm trying to feed Simran.  It's like normal Creole seasoning but with more spices, less pepper, and no cayenne at all.

Ingredients
2 tbs onion powder
2 tbs garlic powder
2 tbs dried oregano
2 tbs dried basil
1 tbs dried thyme
1/2 tbs black pepper
1/2 tbs white pepper
5 tbs paprika
1 1/2 tbs Kosher salt

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients.  Store in a sealed container.
