TIPS FOR SALT SUBSTITUTES

If you are on a salt restricked diet you can still create your own seasoning blend. Omit the salt in this recipe and add in  1 teaspoon each of dried basil, oregano, marjoram, thyme. Blend all ingredents togehter in an herb grinder and pulse for 30 seconds.

I have a coffee grinder that I only used for grinding spices. Place the seeds and pods in the grinder. Pulse for about 30 seconds, then give it a 30 long grind until you can no longer hear pieces spinning around in the grinder.

I took a black permanent marker and wrote spices only on it, so the family doesn’t use it for coffee beans. They might get a surprise hint of spice in their coffee if they did.
