How to use this seasoning:
  1. • You can use this as a replacement to any recipe calling for Italian seasoning.
  2. • Also, you can use it to make your own breaded coating by mixing this with bread crumbs or a healthier bread crumb topping by combining wheat germ with this seasoning (this makes for a fabulous and healthy breaded coating!).
  3. • You can also use it as a topping for breads or a dipping sauce for bread by mixing this with olive oil.
  4. • You can make your own spaghetti sauce by combining tomato sauce and Italian seasoning to your desired consistency and taste - keep it thin by just using sauce, thicken it up with paste.
  5. • You can make your own pizza sauce by combining this Italian seasoning with tomato paste and thinning it with a bit of water or tomato sauce.
  6. • A great coating for most any meat in a crockpot, on the stove top or in a casserole dish. The best protein to mix/coat with this mix is chicken, but beef, pork, fish also taste great.
  7. • It is a GREAT mix to use in the SOS mix for all of the spices. Not sure what SOS Mix is? It is AMAZING and the details are here on What is SOS Mix.
