Bear Creek Cheddar Broccoli Soup Mix

On a scale of 1 - 10 I give this mix an 8.  I loved the convenience of using the mix but the taste wasn't quite me.  So why did it rank an 8?  Because this mix is the perfect "base" allowing you to make changes to fit your own taste.  I ended up with a soup I'm  calling Cheddar Chicken Broccoli Soup that has a little sage and an onion cube added to spice up the flavor.  For the recipe go to my site Martha's Recipe Cabinet

J M Exotic Foods, Inc.'s Bread Dip Seasonings

I have to give you another review on the J M Exotic Foods Bread Dip Seasonings.  I've just tried the Parmesan Blend and as I suspected, it's great.  Here is what you do.

Peel and sliced some potatoes (I used 4 med.), onions (1 small) and red peppers (1/4).  Pour about 2 Tbsp. olive oil in a large frying pan and add the potatoes, onion and peppers.  Cooked over med. high heat until the potatoes are slightly browned.  Added a package of Smoked Sausage, sliced.  Sprinkled a good amount of J M Exotic Foods' Parmesan Blend over everything.  Turn heat down to low.  Cover and cook until potatoes are done. 

This seasoning gets a 10 too!

Bread Dip Seasoning by J M Exotic Foods, Inc.

On a scale of 1 - 10 I give this product a 10!

On my trip to Florida for my cookbook release of Think With Your Taste Buds I stopped in one of my favorite grocery stores...Publix.  This store has so much of everything and some really great buys but it also has a few things that I can't find here in NC, at least not yet.  J M Exotic Foods' Bread Dip Seasoning is one of those items.  In fact, I've never seen it any place other than Publix.  Hopefully that will change and we will either get a Publix or the stores that are here will start carrying this wonderful seasoning.

Bread Dip Seasoning consists of not 1 but 4 different blends.  They are simple to use.  You mix as much or as little as you want to a little olive oil and use warm bread for dipping.  Delicious!  The flavors are Tuscany Blend, Sicily Blend, Garlic Rosemary Blend, and Parmesan Blend. 

But...that's not all its good for.  I cooked a roast this weekend, sprinkled both sides heavily with the Tuscany Blend, seared the seasonings into the meat and slow cooked.  BOY was this good!  I can't wait to try the Sicily Blend on chicken.  I want to sprinkle some of the Parmesan Blend into my hamburgers.  And the Garlic Rosemary Blend?  I plan on adding that to my soup.

So, if you can't find these delicious blends through your own grocery store, ask them to check into stocking them.  If that doesn't work, go the the J M Exotic Foods site and check into ordering direct.  You won't be sorry.
