How many spice jars are packed in your cabinet or pantry right now?
My guess is that you have enough varieties to not need to buy spice blends at the grocery store. Possibly so many that a spice jar avalanche occurs every third or fourth time you open the cabinet door?
We so often spend money on pre-made spice blends because we like that someone else has taken the guesswork out of creating great flavor combinations.
That’s ok! Life can be hectic and we are in a hurry most of the time. Store-bought spice blends are an easy way to make dinner prep a bit faster.
Yet spice blends like apple pie spice, seasoning salt, steak rub, taco seasoning, and seafood seasoning can easily be made at home and stored in old spice jars.
So the next time you run out of your favorite seasoning in the middle of cooking dinner, there’s no need to turn off the burners and run to the store.
Just google the seasoning and make it yourself!
Old Bay seafood seasoning is a fabulous blend of herbs and spice to sprinkle on everything from shrimp and fish, to roasted potatoes and corn on the cobb. It even makes a wonderful addition to salad dressings.
We use Old Bay a ton in the summer months because the strong note of bay leaves and baking spices offers tantalizing contrast to light summer flavors.
And best of all, Old Bay is easy to make at home.
Plus, you can adjust the flavors to better suit your taste preferences, make large batches of Old Bay for picnics or potlucks, or even jar it for edible gifts to pass on to friends.
Want to give it a try?
Simply pull out all the necessary herbs and spices. Measure and dump. Then stir and store.
It’s perfect, of course, for seafood. But it has so many other uses! Try sprinkling your homemade Old Bay seasoning on pizza or bread sticks, stirring it into potato or macaroni salad, or blending with sour cream for a cool summertime veggie dip!
