Emeril's Essence Spice Mix

This is a terrific spice mix that goes great on chicken, beef, fish, in stews, soups and sauces as well as on hummus and well pretty much anything except for dessert recipes.  Honestly, it takes things from ordinary to extraordinary.  If you have a recipe that calls for breading mix some of the essence in with plain bread crumbs - it's amazing!  Basically, you can feel free to try it on anything you like so go ahead and kick it up a notch.  As Emeril would say, "BAM!"
