Make Your Own Seasoning Mix

Do you use pre-packaged seasoning blends to season your food?? You know like taco seasoning, dry onion soup mix, ranch seasoning mix and the list goes on. If you do let me offer you a small warning. If you read the ingredient list of most of these spice mixes you will find ingredients such as MSG, corn syrup solids, maltodextrin These are not ingredients I want to share with my family or anyone else that eats my cooking. There is still a great way to have spice mixes and save money as well. Make your own.
