Variations

I'm a big fan of making your own blend of spices; it's the best way to customize the flavors. When you make your own homemade version you can make a large or small batch of seasoning or customize the flavors.

If you like spicy, heat it up with a pinch of cayenne pepper. Too much salt, or you're watching your salt intake, use less! If you have whole spices, use a spice grinder. The options are yours!

Storage

This will keep up to 6 months. Store in a mason jar, an old empty spice jar or an airtight container. Keep in the pantry. It's great to give as gifts as well!

It doesn't get any easier than that, right? Use it to season steak, pork, seafood or chicken.
