Spice, spice, baby....

Yeah, you liked that didn't you.  What do you expect?  I live 10 miles from A1A Beach Front Ave.  Not Detroit Ave like some crazy people from Michigan always thought it said.  Good thing that wasn't me.  Nope, never, not me.

So I don't know about you, but when I first switched to Paleo there were things I didn't think about that I would come to miss.  Taco seasoning for one.  Lipton french onion soup for roasts for two.  Cream of chicken/mushroom soups for three.

Here is the good news.  You can make your own.  Thanks to a little google research, I do.  You don't need that prepackaged nonsense.  I've been making my own taco and roast seasonings for a while, but recently I wanted to see if anyone was talented enough to make a Paleo cream of chicken soup.  Guess what, someone is.  In fact, it looks like many someones are.   I haven't tried any yet, but I'm excited about the possibilities.

Here are some links to some spice mixes, soups, etc....

Cream of Broccoli 

And now to get all MasterChef on you...

I used to use onion soup for my roasts, but I do something different now-  I don't have exact measurements, but here is the combination I use:  Garlic Salt, Onion Powder, Turmeric, Dry Mustard.  I go heavy on the first three, light on the last.  But that probably doesn't help you at all, does it?  I sprinkle it on both sides, then combine Not-beef bullion cubes from Whole Foods with water in dutch oven and put in oven at 350 for anywhere from 3-6 hours.

As a side note, that picture of a huge hunk of raw meat makes my stomach churn....yelk.  I have meat issues.  Also, yes those are potatoes.  Real, red skin potatoes mashed with coconut milk and garlic salt.  Sometimes a girl just needs mashed potatoes.  Shesh.
