    A Well-Stocked Spice Cabinet

    This is a list of dried spices that I keep on hand at all times. I recommend ordering spices online. Two of my favorite spice companies are Mountain Rose Herbs and World Spice Merchants.

    I also recently set up a magnetic spice rack by Gneiss that mounts to the inside of my spice cabinet. I am in love with it! It saves a ton of space, keeps all of my spices organized, and I can store all of my homemade spice blends right along with my bulk spices.

    Making Homemade Seasoning Blends

    I am currently working on writing a post for each of my seasoning blends. You can download a printable with all my seasoning blends until they are done.

    More Seasoning Blend Recipes

    I've amassed a collection of spice blend recipes over the years, and I use them all the time. Having homemade spice blends in your pantry saves you a ton of time in the kitchen. I will continue to add spice blends as I get them posted.

    BBQ Rub

    Having a good BBQ rub in your kitchen is essential. This recipe can be used on everything from BBQ Ribs to Smoked Pork Shoulder and everything in between.

    For a quick and easy dinner, sprinkle a few tablespoons of barbecue seasoning on chicken breasts or thighs before grilling. You can make a succulent Roasted Pork Tenderloin. BBQ rub is also a great way to season roasted sweet potatoes, homemade fries, or sweet potato fries.

    BBQ Rub Seasoning Blend
    This AMAZING BBQ rub recipe can be used to add flavor to so many things. It's way cheaper than buying a specialty rub in the store. Make a batch right in your own kitchen and then store it to use anytime you are craving that smokey-sweet bbq flavor.

    Buffalo Seasoning Blend

    This spice blend might be the one I use the most. It adds instant buffalo flavor to everything from chicken to shrimp. A few teaspoons of this spice blend make chicken wow-tastic. It's as easy as sprinkling on this spice blend and then baking, pan-searing, or grilling your favorite protein.

    I recommend serving chicken or shrimp with extra Franks Red Hot Sauce and a side of Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing. I also use this spice blend to make several appetizer recipes, including my Buffalo Shrimp Poppers, Buffalo Chicken Dip, and Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls.
