collage of piles of various dried spices

Spices are something that should be found in everyone's kitchen and is an integral part of the meal making process. Tacos, chicken, steak--even rice and pasta--all have seasonings added to them. However, for many, this means mixing several individual spices or looking up a rub recipe as most don't keep premade seasoning mixes on hand. Add some flavor to your holiday gifts by creating a range of mixes that are ready to go for your friends and family. Use different sized mason jars with cute labels to make these seasonings, useful, thoughtful, and visually attractive. For anyone who enjoys nicely flavored food or who likes the idea of just adding a bit of this or that when making dinner, seasoning mixes are a perfect gift option. Once the ingredients in each of the mixes are combined, they are ready to be added to any dish or rubbed onto any cut of meat. To make any mix a wet rub, simply add a little olive oil before applying it to meat.
