I make my own spice mixes. This is a cost saver, from buying expensive spice packets. Also, I can control what goes into the mix.
Everyday ingredients: onion powder, low sodium salt pepper granulated garlic, cayenne pepper, paprika, and chili powder. Since these are staple pantry items, I can quickly refill my bottle, should I run short.
I like to blend my spice mixes. The spices stay blended, and don't separate, in the bottle.
