    What Can I Use Instead Of Poultry Seasoning

    Instead of buying your own packaged poultry seasoning, we suggest making your own with a blend of sage, thyme, marjoram, rosemary, oregano, garlic powder, nutmeg, basil, and black pepper.

    Homemade poultry seasoning can be used whenever you dont have a bottle of seasonings that you normally get from the store. So when in a pinch, dont panic, make your own chicken seasoning at home.

    Sauted Broccoli With Peanut Sauce

    Vegetarian Crock Pot Taco Soup

    Taco soup is more or less thin chili. It typically includes all the same ingredients only theres a lit more liquid in the mix.

    With that in mind, it wont come as a surprise to see beans, corn, tomatoes, and peppers on the list of ingredients.

    Tofu is made from soy milk and has a smooth texture with little taste.

    In contrast, tempeh is made from whole soybeans and has a lovely nutty flavor and chewy texture.

    To ensure it keeps its texture, youll sear it, just like you would beef, before placing it in the slow cooker with the vegetables.

    One thing to note with this recipe is that the sauce is much more like an authentic beef stew. Thats down to the red wine and vegan beef broth.

    A hot pot is a traditional Chinese meal where a big soup pot is served in the middle.

    Families gather and cook their meats and veggies in the pot around a table.

    This is a western take on that, using some of the same unique flavors, including a lovely ginger soy sauce that gets added at the end.

    Using garlic and ginger paste will help to cut down on the prep and make the flavors more pronounced.

    You should be able to find them in your local grocery store or online.
