Keena’s Kitchen House Seasoning

Okay peoples; so at one point I felt that if I heard Emeril Lagasse say “BAM” one more time—I would literally throw my shoe INTO the screen and knock the bijesus out of him; but I decided that I would put together my own house seasoning instead. What is “House Seasoning” you ask? House seasoning is a standard "go-to" seasoning that you can use on various meats, veggies and an all around staple that everyone should have in their cupboards. Each house seasoning is different depending on the “house” it derives from and includes several spices usually ground or granulated for the best result.

My house seasoning is influenced by the flavors of Africa (via the dirty south), India, China, Spain and Jamaica. My many experiences with all these cuisines left me to combine the spices I liked most and use it on everything from homemade salad dressings to dry rub for my rack of lamb and dust for my sweet potato fries. It sure beats the heck out of “All Seasoning Salt” (very unhealthy and bad for you) LOL!

So here is the recipe and don’t forget to get creative and add your favorite spices, coming up with your own special blend to fit your house! Enjoy!

Granulated Garlic
