Recently went to Trader Joe's for first time ever and purchased the following spices: everything but the bagel, umami, and Green Goddess. I'm the sort who needs to be told exact amounts for cooking. I don't like experimenting; I need to know that my dishes will come out good. Can you please share recipe ideas using these spices?

You can make the Green Godess dressing recipe on the back of the Green Godess spice. I use Parve milk and lemon juice in place of buttermilk, and Toffutti in place of sour cream.

I also use Green Godess on Cauliflower, or any Roasted veggies for that matter. Just sprinkle on a generous amount and some salt and oil.

I use green goddess on vegetables, and umami on chicken and fish.

EBTB is good on salmon. Go heavy. You can drizzle some honey too.

Umami is good in mushroom soup.

EBTB is great on avocado toast, lox, challah topping, salmon,
garlic salt is great in everything you would put salt on. soups, salads with just drizzle of olive oil,
chili lime- great on salmon with a squeeze of lemon

I use everything spice on chicken, green goddess and salt to marinate chicken cutlets, umamu also on chicken. The citrus garlic is yum on both chicken and fish
I also appreciate that most of their spice blends are sugar free unlike others ....

EBTB on chicken or salmon- do you add anything else, or just sprinkle the spice and bake?

Green Goddess is delicious on frozen green beans or frozen peas with a drizzle of olive oil and roasted, easiest side dish.
