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."
 

CONDIMENTS & SAUCES

Nut Butters:

Adams Peanut Butter, Natural, Unsalted Nothing but nuts, creamy and flavorful, but will take getting used to if you're a regular peanut butter user. Add jam and other favorites until you get used to the lack of salt.
 

Salad Dressings:

Emeril's House Herb Vinaigrette It's from Emeril, no doubt it has great flavor.
