Some of you guys might know I’m a little bit obsessive about my various spices, mixes and concoctions. I have quite a few Spice Mixes & Blends on my blog because if you have spices you can make almost anything. This Smoky Chipotle Taco Seasoning is one of my newer favorites.

Lipton Onion Soup Mix. While the rest of the world might not be familiar with this product, I’m betting there are very few here in the US who didn’t grow up with it – and the old familiar recipes. I didn’t want to shell out the bucks for a small box with a packet or two, so when I revisited some of those old classics, I made my own Homemade Onion Soup Mix.

I’m a fiend for anything a little sweet and a little spicy. And when it comes in the form of a rub that works well with chicken and pork? Sold. If you’re the same way, this Sweet Heat Rub for Chicken or Pork is gonna be right up your alley.

The very first time I had Montreal Steak Seasoning I fell in love. I use it on steak, burgers and sprinkle a bit here and there where it probably has no business going! It sparks up just about anything it’s used on.

When I wanted to make my Crab Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers (how’s that for a teaser?!) I wanted to use some Old Bay Seasoning. Well, I have some at home (probably ancient – I DO live in the Midwest, after all so there’s not a lot of fresh seafood to use it on) but none here at the folks’ house. In the middle of nowhere. In South Dakota. It’s dry here, not to mention landlocked with very few lakes and most of those are reservoirs, so the local grocery store didn’t even have Old Bay. So I needed to whip up an Old Bay Substitute.
