The Epicurian Essentials Herb Blends

These are blends that save time by already being prepared by you to ensure that they are Gluten Free.

"Lawry's Lemon Pepper with a zest of lemon" is gluten
free as of this writing and is GREAT! Use it on vegetables,
chicken, fish and in egg dishes.

"Spike" is another great seasoning you can buy it at most
health food stores and at Whole-Foods.

Dried "Vegetable Flakes" are great to have on hand use
them as they are or grind them up in the blender a bit
finer, they add a bit of flavor and look like edible confetti!

The blends make about 1/4 a cup each. Store labeled in tightly sealed jars.
