“You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.”
Yogi Berra

"Believe it or not, American’s eat 75 acres of pizza a day."
Boyd Matson

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Preparation

Sorry to be sending these so late but I remember
several people talking about making gift baskets of
homemade goodies for Xmas. Thought the following spice
recipes might be good inclusions to such a gift.

I will be using baby food jars for storing and sending
these for gifts.

AHA Herb Mix Marinade

Combine the ingredients and store the herb mix in a
spice jar. If you are using herbs in leaf form,
combine all the ingredients, and process them in a
blender until they are ground.

This no-salt seasoning mix is from the American Heart
Association.

Use this mixture in a Turkey Meatball Stroganoff, with
anything in a yogurt sauce, in beef stew, in place of
poultry seasoning, for examples.

This can be made in large quantities and stored in
airtight spice jars. If you start with herbs that are
in leaf form, use 1 1/2 tsp each of basil, parsley and
sage, and 1 1/4 tsp of thyme and savory.

Cajun Spice Mix Marinade Servings: 2

1 1/8 c Sweet paprika 1/4 c Cayenne 1/4 c Freshly
ground black pepper 2 Oregano 2 T Onion powder 2 T
Thyme leaves 1 T Celery seed 1 1/2 ts Garlic powder

Makes about 2 cups

Grind the ingredients together in a blender or food
processor, and store the mix in spice jars.

This is marvelous on fish fillets, obviating the need
for any other flavoring, including fat. Try it, too,
on shellfish, in pasta dishes, or on baked potatoes.
