Would love to change that though. It's funny but I never thought of onion and garlic powder as something that I could make at home - I kind of feel a bit silly now for thinking that. *Must get a dehydrator*Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-26563251318260246662014-08-19T19:34:03.501-04:002014-08-19T19:34:03.501-04:00Wow, that is impressive to make your own spices! ...Wow, that is impressive to make your own spices! I make my own spice mixes but always with store bought spices. The only thing I've ever had from my own garden is coriander seeds which are ridiculously easy compared to what you are doing (just pick them off the plant and let them dry!).Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354350096358468967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-90439457936849637752014-08-19T17:29:31.652-04:002014-08-19T17:29:31.652-04:00Dave, your soup mix recipe for vegetable soup soun...Dave, your soup mix recipe for vegetable soup sounds great.

I'm not sure if we'll have enough peppers to make any this year though. There's a vendor at the local farmers market who sells a lot of specialty salts and seasonings from things he grows.Autumnhttp://stfiacregarden.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-29669294746365463182014-08-19T13:01:25.036-04:002014-08-19T13:01:25.036-04:00It's such a great idea to make your own season...It's such a great idea to make your own seasoning mixes. I like to make a 'soup mix' we use for vegetable soups that usually includes basil, oregano, thyme and a bit of rosemary. Like you I make it up fresh each year, and for that I can use homegrown herbs. With a little marjoram and sage it would make Italian seasoning. I also make a blackening mix we use for fish that has our own garlic powder and paprika in it, but the rest of the ingredients come from the store. It is fun to make your own mixes and I like the fact you can tailor it however you see fit.Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-58267236105002178402014-08-19T12:59:57.058-04:002014-08-19T12:59:57.058-04:00This has nothing to do with KFC but once a year I ...This has nothing to do with KFC but once a year I combine all those leftover spices into a jar labeled "11 Secret Herbs & Spices".
