Want to add a QUICK kick to your meals ? Well, this DIY for Memphis Dry Rub is GUARANTEED to help SPICE up your meats! It’s the perfect blend for Summer BBQ’s and all around grilling! Add as little or as much as you fancy to HEAT up your BBQ!
Have you ever stopped to think of how MUCH you pay for Blended Grilling Spices? I sure have! About a year ago I was on a QUEST to save a few pennies here and there. I stopped to think of what Household items or even Grocery items I might be able to rally to save money on .
One of the things, I found as I was making my list of cutbacks happened to be Blended Spices. How RIDICULOUS the amount was. I had to ask , “WHY, am I spending this on something I could DIY??”
So thus began the Saga of my Personal Hand Blending. It’s so SIMPLE and EASY to do! I can make batches as I see fit, as LARGE or SMALL as I like!

Thank you Joanne… it’s a fantastic spice for pork or beef… my husband likes it on chicken, however I’m not fond of it on chicken
I don’t often make my own spice blends, but I really don’t know why. You are right, it’s so easy and much more economical. I’ll have to give this one a try the next time I grill some pork! 🙂
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 .
Wow, this would be great to use for my husband’s crockpot bbq ribs. Thanks for sharing!
I agree, it tastes fantastic on pork!!! Thank you Stephanie !
