Make Your Own Spice Mixes

As a breast cancer survivor I'm more careful about what I eat and serve my family. I try to avoid using processed foods and make most meals from scratch. After noticing the ingredient in most of the bottles of mixed seasonings I thought it would be both fun and healthy to make my own mixes.

After I decided on three mixes, I used a recipe quantity calculator to convert the measurements. Then I checked my spices and made a shopping list.
