Notes
Don’t have time to create your own blend? And when in a hurry, consider adding just lemon pepper, Mrs. dash, Tajin seasoning, bagel seasoning, or old bay seasoning.
Store these spice combinations in separate containers with lids. Keep them at room temperature in a cool, dry place. They'll last about as long as any other dried seasonings, and are freshest when used within 6 months or so.
