3 Classic Dry Spice Mixes

Instructions for all three of these mixes are the same.  Put the ingredients in a big bowl and mix together well with a fork or whisk. You’ll want to store the mixes in some kind of a jar with a tight sealing lid.  I like to use a canning jar and lid because I know it will be a tight seal.  However, a zipped freezer bag will work.
