  2. Around my house, we are very into making our own spice blends. Not only is it so economincal and many contain ingredients already in my spice cabinet but I can tailor them to my specific needs without the fillers and added MSG. Awesome post.

  8. I love making my own spices. Besides being cheaper and healthier, you can customize and add things you like and leave out things you don’t. I love the idea of this Memphis rub. My husband would love it on ribs or steak. I wonder how it’d be on Tofu… delish I bet. It makes me hum the Mark Cohn tune, “Walking in Memphis”. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

    • I can not believe how much I have been saving!!! Just not paying those outrageous prices has given me a little extra cash to spend in other areas! Plus I can make it as gifts for special occasion and dress it up in a fancy container .
