Italian Seasonings

This is a great copycat recipe from Good Seasons Italian Seasonings packets. I prefer to blend up my own spice mixes so I know exactly what’s in them

Measure out 2 tablespoons of oregano, 1 tablespoon each of garlic powder, onion powder parsley and sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons of kosher salt, 1 teaspoon each of black pepper and basil & a 1/2 teaspoon of thyme

I like to measure them out on a sheet of parchment or waxed paper so I can easily funnel them into my spice grinder

I’m using the spice grinder attachment for my Ninja Blender, but you can use a mini food processor or blender if you wish.

Quite honestly, you don’t have to blend the spices, I just feel they mix more evenly that way

Pour them all into the grinder and give it a whirl kid! (Ok, too much baseball going on around here lately…)

Pour into a small spice jar and keep in a cool, dry place for up to 6 weeks

I always reuse the glass spice jars that I purchase at the grocery store for any of the spice blends that I make. I can hear my husband whispering “pack rat” right now…

This is great to use in dressings, dips or just to season your favorite proteins or veggies!

Enjoy!

Gyro Seasoning

Our Gyro seasoning is a wonderful blend of dried herbs and spices that go great with plenty of Greek foods, not just Gyros

Sprinkle or rub this on beef, lamb or chicken for some extra great Greek flavor!

For the blend we will need 1 tablespoon of paprika, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of onion powder, 1 tablespoon of cumin, 1 tablespoon of coriander seeds, 1 tablespoon of dried rosemary, 1 tablespoon of dried oregano and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon

Place all of the ingredients into a spice grinder (or an old coffee grinder)

If you don’t have a spice grinder you can simply crush the oregano and rosemary with a mortar and pestle and whisk together with the other ingredients

I ground this for 15 seconds for a medium consistency

And that’s it!

Place in a jar and seal

Store in a cool, dry and dark place

Enjoy!!!
