Safe Spices

Most single spices are gluten free and therefore "safe."

The problem comes when you buy a mix, a marinade, a blend ...

often times there is a binder added that turns the spice into an enemy.

I am a big fan of "Italian Pork."

It is easy.

It is delicious.

It feeds a BUNCH!

I was buying Italian Dressing mix to use in this dish

and all was fine.

But then, the company changed their recipe - 

and the gluten and wheat appeared :(

But now I make my own :)

It is cheaper ...

and I always have it on hand!

Zesty Italian Dressing Spice Mix

1 Tbsp garlic salt

1 Tbsp onion powder

1 Tbsp sugar

2 Tbsp oregano

1 tsp pepper

1 tsp thyme

1 tsp basil

1 tsp parsley

1/4 tsp celery salt

2 Tbsp cajun seasoning

2 Tbsp = 1 packet

I printed the recipe on a card and stuck it on my jar

so a refill is quick and easy.
