While this sheet covers the basics, you can easily adapt these to create middle eastern spices or a mediterranean seasoning blend. You might add greek oregano and olive oil to your prep for a mediterranean spice feel, or use these as a base for a shawarma seasoning. The Jerk Seasoning is particularly fragrant with allspice, cinnamon, and nutmeg, while the Curry Seasoning brings together turmeric, coriander, and cardamom for a deep eastern spices aroma.

Everyday All-Purpose and Herb Printables

For those daily meals that just need a little something extra, the All Purpose Seasoning and Italian Seasoning recipes are staples.
