I adore food magazines.  Forgive me for this, but it’s like porn for chubby girls, ok? 

I can’t help it, a new magazine comes in the mail and I’m just itching to get the kids off to bed so I can sit down and pour through all the lovely recipes and drool over the glossy photos. 

When Food Network Magazine first came out, I think I was the first subscriber.  Seriously.

Our garden was at the height of producing basil when I saw a recipe for Basil Salt.

Yes, you read that right. Like garlic salt… but homemade.

Well, and basil-y. I guess that’s probably not really a word, huh? It totally should be!

                How to Use Seasoned Salt

                Use the seasoned salt as you would regular salt. Remember a little goes a long way so it’s wise to season a little and then taste your food to see if it needs more. Here are some ways I use basil salt:

                • Sprinkle 1 tablespoon onto 4 chicken breasts along with Italian Seasoning and grill.
                • Make unbelievable garlic bread using unsalted butter, granulated garlic and this basil-infused salt.
                • Finish off a caprese salad with a sprinkle which enhances the basil flavor.

                  This is such a great idea – I think i might try it with rosemary since I have a lot of that this year.
                  Thanks! Gail
