Why Make Your Own All Purpose Seasoning Spice Blend?

This all purpose seasoning blend is cheaper to make at home. Why pay $6-7 dollars for a tiny bottle of something you can make yourself? This spice mix helps bring out the natural flavor in so many foods and elevates everything from pork chops and steaks, to chicken breasts and soups. It is also great on pasta salad and potato salad.

Homemade seasoning blends allow you to control the amount of sodium and spice that works for your family, and you can reduct the added sugar that is in many store-bought blends.

Homemade seasoning mix is so easy to make in minutes with everyday spices. You can also customize it by adding additional spices and herbs. Try my homemade Italian seasoning, Homemade Fajitas Seasoning and my Lemon Pepper seasoning too!

Recipe FAQs

Can Seasoning go out of date?

Yes it can. Seasonings should always be stored in a cool place away from strong light.

Should I use whole or ground spices for my blends?

Whole spices retain flavor better but require grinding before use, so I like to use ground spices.

Can I make larger batches of spice blends?

Yes absolutely! This recipe can be scaled up. These make great gifts for friends too!

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
