It happens to all of us. You go to make a recipe and realize you don’t have a needed spice blend. Or maybe you simply don’t want to buy a whole bottle of a spice mix you may only use once.

If you keep your pantry fairly stocked with most of the essential spices and seasonings, you can easily make just about any spice mixture you may need.

This list includes popular mixes like taco and poultry seasonings or more specialty blends like sazon and Tuscan blends. There are also essential blends for fall and holiday baking.
