TASTY TUESDAY - SEASONINGS - adding SPICE to your life!

Today I just wanted to focus on seasonings because they are AMAZING when it comes to the P2 and P3. I love seasonings but when we started this program we found out that many seasonings were not on the protocol, as we dug deeper we found out it was because many of them add sugar to the seasoning mix. Those little sneaky devils! Trying to pull you into brand loyalty through your sweet tooth?!?! Anyway, my friend Karen taught me about making seasoning mixes from scratch and soon I was digging through recipes and adapting them to the program protocol!
