I've been making my own seasoning for chicken and pork for the past few years, and it is sooo much better than anything I've ever bought in the stores.

Most store bought seasoning mixes contain added preservatives and unknown substances, so I thought it would be nice to share a list of homemade seasonings that you can make yourself for all kinds of recipes and meats. Hopefully, these seasonings will help you come up with some new ways to cook some of your favorite meals and also give you some new ideas for family meals and grilling too! When you make your own seasonings, you have more control over what goes in them, including the amount of salt. Making your own seasonings and spice rubs is a great way to add extra flavor to all of your recipes and dishes. This list of 50 Easy Homemade Seasonings will inspire you and add so much flavor to your favorite dishes! If you are in a pinch and you don’t have any Spike available you can still make a basic vinegar and olive oil vinaigrette, just add some salt and pepper.I love making my own seasonings and rubs. As an added bonus, making your own salad dressing will save a lot of money and space in your refrigerator!

Plus homemade salad dressings is just so easy. I started shying away from store-bought salad dressing because I didn’t like the oils used in them and added preservatives. Spike is readily available at Whole Foods, most natural food stores (like my favorite here in Colorado, Natural Grocers), and even your major grocery store. It makes the most delicious tasting vinaigrettes that are super quick to make. I haven’t purchased a store-bought salad dressing for well over 10 years because of Spike. Spike is delicious in salad dressings, soups, or on some cooked veggies. It’s quite the blend but really lives up to its slogan of “gourmet magic”.

If you’ve never heard of Spike run out to your local grocery store and get some now! Spike is a spice blend that includes pretty much every spice imaginable: salt, soy, onion, nutritional yeast, garlic, dill, kelp, horseradish, mustard flour, orange and lemon peel, celery, bell peppers, parsley, celery root, white pepper, turmeric, rosehips, summer savory, mushroom, coriander, fenugreek, basil, cayenne pepper, spinach powder, cloves, cumin, ginger, marjoram, oregano, thyme, tarragon, cinnamon, safflower, paprika, tomato, and rosemary. Hey, so what’s this Spike seasoning stuff? I only wish it came in bulk size to feed the whole family! I especially love how their pasta holds up when leftover, it keeps more of an al dente texture and doesn’t get mushy. Plus since it’s made from chickpeas it has more protein and more fiber than regular pasta. Banza pasta makes a great rotini pasta that works wonderfully in this recipe. If you want to make this recipe even more nutritious, or you’re looking for a gluten-free option try using chickpea pasta. This vegan summer pasta salad is great served immediately but it is equally delicious as leftovers. Loaded with veggies and a simple homemade vinaigrette dressing this plant-based summer pasta salad makes a great quick weeknight meal or bring it along to your next BBQ. This recipe reminds me of it, but it is much more delicious and nutritious, I can promise you that. Do you remember it? The box of pasta with the dehydrated olives and pimentos and powder dressing, yuck! Well, times have changed and our bodies deserve better. As a child, I used to love Suddenly Salad.
