SPIKE REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY: Mushroom Egg Salad

My first GIVEAWAY starts today

from SPIKE Magic Seasoning!

I am hosting my first ever MOMS CRAZY COOKING Giveaway with Spike Magic Seasoning!

The Spike family of seasonings are all natural, made without preservatives or additives,

and have Zero calories per serving.

I was contacted to review SPIKE Magic Seasoning and to be honest, I had never heard or seen it before. I of course said yes, because as a cook, I LOVE to try new things. I received my package full of seasonings and created my first recipe that week (see below). Since then we have been experimenting and trying new recipes (watch for more to come) and adding SPIKE Magic Seasoning where we see fit! (Not only do I cook, I have 17 year old twin daughters who love to get in the kitchen too). Just yesterday my daughter was making simple scrambled eggs and she added the SPIKE Magic Herb Seasoning and she loved it.

This first recipe we created was just another one of our every day Egg Salad recipes, one of my daughter just LOVES to make. As soon as we run out, she is in the kitchen whipping up another batch. We decided to revamp it a little and add in some SPIKE! And I can tell you that it gave it that WOW-POP of flavor to make it just a little bit extra special. I know adding SPIKE to this recipe will be a permanent change.

Mushroom Egg Salad with SPIKE

5 Hard Boiled Eggs

2 tsp Minced Garlic

2 tbsp chopped Onions

1/2 cup Mushrooms, diced

1-1/2 tbsp Sour Cream

1-1/2 tbsp Mayonnaise

1/2 tsp Mustard

2 tsp of SPIKE Magic 5 Herb Seasoning

First hard boil large eggs, and cool. Meanwhile saute' onions, garlic and mushrooms in a small sauce pan for 5-7 minutes until cooked to your liking. Once eggs are cooled; peel, dice and mash slightly (my girls like chunky egg salad). Mix the eggs, mushroom mixture and all of the remaining ingredients. Refrigerator and Serve on your favorite bread! DELICIOUS!

My Grandma's Salt Recipe

Here is just a delicious Salt Substitute that my late Grandma passed down to me and I will now pass down to my children. I had kinda of forgotten about it, but with all my cooking I've done over the past year and really getting back into the kitchen, I pulled out my very old, hand typed cookbook and saw this recipe and just had to make it for my kids. We've actually just ran out of the first batch I made a few months ago and I had to make some more and this time I took pictures. It's hard to explain the taste of this wonderful substitute that we use instead of salt. In the mornings on an over-easy egg, omelet, scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, spaghetti and there are a ton of things we use it on. We actually NEVER ever use salt in my house (except in baking), when my dad comes over I have to dig it out regular salt out of the cupboard. I don't really have a recipe for making a smaller batch, but I promise it won't go to waste. Try it.. and let me know what you think! ENJOY!

Grandma's Salt Recipe

from my Grandma Fay

1/2 cup salt

1 tbsp garlic salt

1 tsp onion powder

1 tbsp pepper

2 tbsp parsley

1 tsp all spice

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

1 tbsp celery seed

1 tbsp paprika

1 tbsp dry mustard

1/2 cup Ms. Dash (any flavor)

1 tbsp oregano

1 tsp basil

1 tbsp Italian Seasoning

Blend all together in a mixer; finely. Taste and adjust if needed. We like it just the way it comes out.

We use this on eggs, mashed potatoes and/or anything you would normally add salt too. It has a very yummy taste and it's better to use then just plain salt.
