Are you a salt-lover? God is. And so is my family.
This seasoning is one of the easiest things to throw together, and it can be used on almost everything! My family has come to depend on it, and when we run out, the kids always want to know when I’m making more. It’s Paula Deen’s House Seasoning mix. 3 ingredients: salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. How easy is that? Want to make your own?
Ingredients
1 cup salt (I use Kosher salt for this)
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder
Directions
Yep. That’s it. We use it on everything from eggs to meat (both cooked and in the marinating stage) to vegetables (both cooked and fresh). It also makes a great hostess gift. If you’ll save your garlic powder and other seasoning bottles with larger shaker holes, you can fill them with the house seasoning mix, add a tag, and you end up with a great little “happy” for a friend.
Join Jennifer and Elizabeth on Smelling Coffee TV as they make this house seasoning and as they talk about HOW to BE the salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth.

A few scriptures from the video:
Let your speech at all times be gracious (pleasant and winsome), seasoned [as it were] with salt, [so that you may never be at a loss] to know how you ought to answer anyone [who puts a question to you]. Colossians 4:6, Amplified
Use your heads as you live and work among outsiders. Don’t miss a trick. Make the most of every opportunity. Be gracious in your speech. The goal is to bring out the best in others in a conversation, not put them down, not cut them out. Colossians 4:5-6 The Message
Mark 9:50 says that “Salt is good, but if the salt loses its flavor, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace with one another.” NKJV
And one more:
“Let me tell you why you are here. You’re here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth.” Matthew 5:13 The Message
When we are seasoned with Holy salt, we will be enhanced with God’s wisdom and others will taste and become thirsty for God’s Living Water! And, we will live in such a way that we bring out the best in others. So… from today on, let’s season our food with Paula Deen’s House Seasoning, and our lives with God’s Word. 🙂
