Italian Seasoning for the 1/4 tsp you have listed below?

 

~ That is a good question... i don't think there is a dense

question because if we didn't ask them we'd never learn

anything we need to know.

Italian seasoning is akin to pickling spice, poultry seasoning,

pumpkin pie spice, and those other pre-made blend-type

seasonings. It is quite common now but not something

you can't mix up for yourself out of herbs you have onhand.

Basically they have: basil, marjoram, oregano, and sage.

Some have parsley, too.

 

>Okay, so maybe I am that dense. What brand is yours? I looked at

Marketyesterday and didn't see anything but my seeing eye dog was out

parking the car.

 

~ i buy mine on sale in those cheapola 99¢ spice jars

or out of bulk herb and spice bins... i think our local

healthfood place sells Frontier brand from the bulk

section.

 

 

 

> Also, I used to love Ranch Dressing and have never been able to replicate it

in

vegan style for two reasons. Never found a recipe for it...I don't know what

seasonings to use in it and the two vegan mayonnaise's have too much spark to

them to suit me. Do you have any suggestions? I use the Tofutti sour cream. It

looks to me like the from scratch recipes for mayo also have to much spark in

them...like Miracle Whip if I remember that taste from long ago.

You have GOT to try Vegennaise ~ look in the cooler

section. It is the best... just like BestFoods, but vegan!

i get mine at Fred Meyer.

i have a vegan ranch dressing recipe that is to die for

that i got out of The Native Foods vegan restaurant

cookbook. You should get a copy of the book, too, linda;

i know you would love it. i will post the recipe in a

separate post.... so go out and buy Vegennaise so you

can make it.
