My 3 Easy Homemade Seasoning Mixes
/We never have a meal at our house without spices! I probably use my ranch seasoning the most, but other spices like Italian and taco seasoning are always important to have in the cabinet! What I love most about making my own seasonings instead of buying them is getting rid of all the extra unhealthy additives they put in store bought pre made spices. They mainly do this so the shelf life is a little longer. I am using spices to make these seasonings that I will also use in my other meals and recipes so when I buy a large glass jar of it at the store I’m sure to use the entire thing instead of it going bad before it can finish. I also can reuse the glass jars (usually Good and Gather) to make new seasonings. I like to change the color of the tops on the jars so they are bright and fun and fit with my house! Here I used a spray paint to make them all match and they came out ohhh so cute! Who doesn’t love that salmon color! Now lets get to the recipes!
