Seasoning blend base

1. Two tablespoons salt
2. One tablespoon garlic powder
3. One teaspoon each of the following:

• Basil
• Garlic powder
• Paprika
• Onion powder
• Red cayenne pepper
• Rosemary
• Sage
• Thyme
• Turmeric

This seasoning blend base is the starter in all of my soups, marinades, some sauces and dry rubs. I make a big batch ahead of time and store with my other dry spices.

Depending on what dish I want to make determines what I add to this seasoning base.

1. Spanish dishes: chili, cilantro, cumin or red pepper
2. Asian dishes: saffron, cinnamon, or Star anise
3. Italian dishes: oregano or coriander
