Condiments and seasonings are areas where it’s very tempting to buy ready-made products. If you do, please read the labels carefully! Scrutinize the ingredients list for any forms of sugar (dextrose, maltodextrin, high fructose corn syrup) and any mention of industrial vegetable/seed oils (canola, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, safflower, soybean, and sunflower oil).

At the very least, here’s an MSG-free substitute for G. Washington broth:

  • 2 T. onion powder
  • 2 T. parsley flakes
  • 1 T. celery salt
  • 1 t. turmeric
  • 1/4 t. garlic powder
  • 1/4 t. marjoram
  • 1/4 t. savory

Combine all ingredients and mix well. Store in airtight container. Use in recipes, seasoning to taste.

If you choose to make all your own seasonings at home, here’s another place to start:

Vegan Mayonnaise
I would not use coconut sugar, mainly because it’s not a staple that I buy and keep in my house. I, personally, have never understood why mayonnaise even needs any sweetening at all! If I were to use sweetening, I would use stevia or erythritol (Swerve or Truvia).
