BAKING &
COOKING NEEDS |

Leavening
Agents:
Featherweight
Baking Powder, SF — works well as a replacement
for baking powder in recipes. Usually must double amount called for
in recipe to get good results.

Salt,
Seasonings & Herbs:
AlsoSalt
— Try this and you'll never miss the
salt! This salt substitute tastes so much like salt and no tinny
taste. Also comes in garlic flavored and butter flavored, the latter
is great on popcorn.
Blazing
Blends Chile Blends
— 4 different varieties from mild to hot, spicy and smokey. Outstanding
flavor, perfect for the BBQ, in chilis, on potato chips, in Middle
Eastern dishes and more. If you like it hot, try the Habanero - it
comes with a warning, "Do not rub your eyes, lick your lips,
or touch any part of your skin until you wash your hands thoroughly."
