# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It transforms ordinary vegetables and meats into something restaurant-worthy with just a pinch
  • Once you make it, you'll never go back to those dusty pre-mixed packets because you control every single flavor
  • It costs almost nothing to make and lasts for months, which means you're always ready to cook something delicious
02 -
  • The moment you notice the color fading or the aroma becoming muted, that's when to make a fresh batch because stale spices taste like disappointment in powder form
  • Always shake or stir the jar before using because the heavier spices naturally settle at the bottom and you want balanced flavor every single time
03 -
  • If you find yourself without this blend in a moment of need, you can quickly approximate it by combining whatever dried herbs you have on hand with paprika and garlic powder, and it will still be better than plain salt
  • Store a small amount in a vintage salt shaker for convenient sprinkling over fresh fruit or avocado toast, because this blend works in surprising places beyond savory cooking
