Dry Onion Soup Mix


Miss your favorite California Dip, meatloaf, roast, and whatnot recipe because of the preservatives, artificial flavoring, and MSG in dry onion soup mix? Well, give this a try! Most have been skeptical that it won’t taste as good as the Lipton Onion Soup Mix, but they have found this to taste just exactly like it. Now you can make your favorite recipes that call for onion soup mix and enjoy it again! Great recipe to have on hand so make up several and store in snack size Zip-Lock baggies in the pantry. From allrecipes.com.

Homemade Adobo Seasoning Without Pepper


One might ask what is Adobo seasoning? It is a Hispanic seasoning used in Mexican and Puerto Rican dishes, plus others. Most have ingredients that are major no-nos for people with IC, but here is a recipe that is IC friendly that you can enjoy. From icrecipesandtips.blogspot.com.




Homemade Adobo Seasoning Without Pepper

Ingredients:

1 cup sea salt
1/2 cup garlic granules
1/3 cup ground oregano*
1 1/2 tablespoons turmeric (if tolerated)

Mix well in a bowl and store in a tightly covered container. Use in recipes calling for seasoning salt or Adobo seasoning. This makes about 2 cups of Adobo Seasoning Without Pepper.

*Note: I couldn't find any ground oregano in my local store, so I bought whole oregano and ground it myself in my blender. About 1/2 cup whole oregano ground down to 1/3 cup ground oregano.
