Vegetable Swap: I used Karen’s Just Veggies” but you can often find in the bulk department. If unavailable, ingredient can be omitted from the layered jar and 1 ½ cup of assorted diced fresh vegetables can be added to the pot before cooking.
Herb/Spice Swap: I used Instantly Fresh Guacamole Blend from Litehouse Foods. You can find it in little glass bottles in the room-temp area of produce department, or sometimes on spice aisle. If not available, use this substitution – ¼ cup dehydrated onion flakes, 2 teaspoons dried red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 tablespoon dried parsley)
