TABASCO Original Red - A must have for every kitchen Filed under ( holiday, Product review, recipe traditions, snack mix )

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TABASCO® Original Red. All opinions are 100% mine.

I grew up in Texas where TABASCO® Original Red is a part of every kitchen. TABASCO is so much more than hot - it truly enhances the flavor of any food. We continue to enjoy Tabasco on eggs, sandwiches, popcorn, etc. You can also add it to any soup, chili, casserole - just to give it a little kick - a little something extra.

My favorite way to use TABASCO Original Red is in my spicy snack mix - TEXAS TRASH! I have been making this for years. It is a holiday tradition - I make it and give it away time after time during the holidays. It is a favorite mix just to have around during any gathering. You have to try adding TABASCO to your snack mix - I know you will love it.

Also, please visit TABASCO for that perfect game-day appetizer. I love TABASCO on pizza. - my favorite is pepperoni, hamburger and green olive with a little TABASCO. Please visit Pizza Perfection to learn more.

TEXAS TRASH

1 box wheat Chex
1 box rice Chex
1 box corn Chex
1 box Cheeze-Its
1 bag pretzel sticks
2 cans mixed nuts
1 large bag of pecan halves

Divide these ingredients equally between 2 big foil roasting pans.

Mix the following ingredients in two saucepans over medium heat. After the butter is melted and the ingredients are mixed, pour the two butter mixtures over the two pans of snack mix.

6 sticks butter and/or margarine (3 in each pan)

10 Tbsp. Worcestershire (5 in each pan)

8 Tbsp. TABASCO Original Red sauce (4)

10 tsp. Lawry’s season salt (5)

2 tsp. garlic powder (1)

Toss gently. Bake one on the top rack and one on the bottom rack. Bake at 250 degrees stirring every 30 minutes for 2 ½ hours. I switch the bottom to the top and the top to the bottom after an hour or so. I cover my table in newspaper and then wax paper. Pour the mixture out to cool. Store in an airtight container and ENJOY!!! Share with friends!

SPIKE seasonings - product review Filed under ( Product review )

I received a box of Spike Brand Gourment, All Purpose All Natural Seasoning in all of their varities. This product was originally created by Gayelord Hauser. SPIKE is making a grand entry back into the marketplace. I cooked dinner last night, seasoning 3 chicken breasts with the Original, the Lemon-Pepper and the Hot-n-Spicy. They were all three very good. We had fresh broccoli that I steamed and we put only the Vege-Sal Magic and we all loved the broccoli.

After doing some research, I see that SPIKE is well loved on hard-boiled eggs, cottage cheese, asparagus, popcornetc. There are many uses and it seams to be loved by all. I will continue to use all of these and let you know what we think.

SPIKE is distributed by Modern Products, Inc. of Mequon, WI. Please visit their website. I know you will pleased with the information found. Also visit www.spike-it-up.com for great ideas and featured recipes. If you can't find SPIKE locally, please check Amazon. There were quite a few good reviews on AMAZON where customers couldn't live without this seasoning.
