I've seen these advertised on TV.

They are such a great idea. My only problem with them is that there is no such thing as a chicken fajita. Fajita itself means "Strips of beef" How do you get that from a chicken. They don't fool me. lol

I get these at our IGA here and love them

I add it to sauces and potatoes au gratin, too. Also, add a couple drops to big spoonful of salt, stir, and let dry, for a great addition to green beans. I prefer the hickory flavor, myself.

If you have a health food store in your vicinity try buying your spices there. Ours has a wall of jars with every spice you can imagine. As an example, bay leaves were about $6 in the grocery store but only 60 cents in the health food store because they buy by the ounce and the spices don't go stale before you can use them because you buy just what you need. I buy vanilla beans there and make my own vanilla with them.

I've seen these herb packs in a TV ad. Although I don't have any need for them, they are probably available in our local grocery stores.

Liquid Smoke is also available in all our local stores. It's where the BBQ Sauces, steak sauces, Worchestershire sauces, etc. are found, usually on the very top shelf.

If you can't find a specific McCormick seasoning, go to their website or phone their customer service number which should be on any McCormick label Lots of times you can order directly from them or online.

Did you know that you can chop and freeze fresh herbs? I buy them in those little clear plastic packs (about 3" x 6" or so) from the produce section. I chop them, put them in little glass jars, label them and freeze. When I need them, I just spoon out the amount needed and return the rest to the freezer. They are wonderful for cooking but since freezing will make them kind of limp, you can't use them for garnish (like a sprig of parsley or mint). This way you get fresh herbs whenever you want - and they last forever!

DH grills a lot. He uses these three spices for everything. Durkee Steak Dust and Weber's Gourmet Burger on all the beef.
Durkee Grill Creations Chicken and Rib Rub for chicken, pork and fish.
He has tried all the different rubs and mixes and we like these three the best. Although the Steak Dust has more pepper than I think it needs it's still very good.

Deb, go on-line and check for that spice. My hubby recently bought some spices on line to use in some of his recipes. Also if some spices have a short shelf life, put them in the frig or freezer. We have a seal-a-meal and use that to protect the flavors. I haven't seen the McCormick packets yet around here but I'll be watching for them.

McCormick changed the name of their older spice blends to more modern pleasing names. Charcoal I bet is one they changed but kept the same blend.


DH just told me it was now this name: McCormick's Char Broil and Grill Seasoning. He said it tastes the same as the Charcoal Seasoning they use to have.

Wow, it sure is expensive! The 25oz. container DH has says $39.99
