14 Homemade Dry Spice Blends, from Dips, to Main Course to Dessert these are all the Spice Blend Mixes you will need.
When I first moved to Italy and started cooking for just the two of us, I really missed some of my favourite dishes from Tacos to Pumpkin Pie to yes Ranch Dressing. Naturally I couldn’t buy the spice bottles or packets here.
I was often asked by family and friends “but you are in Italy why would you want a bottled dressing when you could have fresh olive oil”? Well when you are far from family and friends you want to be reminded about everything you left behind. Yes even a rub or a cookie!
Thinking back on it if I had only known about these amazing Homemade Dry Spice Blends how content I would have been. Of course it is never too late to add these Dry Spice Mixes to your pantry shelf.
As we all know Homemade is Best!

Allspice is its own thing, though. It’s not just a blend of spices. It has a distinct flavor all its own.
Hi Shelby, you are absolutely correct, but when you live in a country where these spices are not available it’s always good to know that a substitute will work too.
We’ve been making our own spice blends for quite a few years — better and cheaper than purchasing. Also this way you can control the quality of the blend and also the sodium level. Really nice combination of spices.
Hi Marisa, I know it’s a really good idea. They taste so much better too. Have a great weekend!
