Notes

Use Fresh, Quality Spices: The flavor of your mix really depends on how fresh your spices are. It's best to use fresh chives or even homemade onion powder.
Mix in Small Batches: Since you’re cooking for one or two, there’s no need to make a giant jar. A small batch stays fresh and lets you adjust the flavor if you want to tweak it next time.
Shake or Whisk Thoroughly: Make sure the spices are evenly blended so every spoonful has the same great taste. A quick shake in a small jar or a whisk in a bowl does the trick.
Store in a Sealed Container: Keep your mix in an airtight container to lock in the flavor. Label it with the date so you remember when you made it; freshness makes all the difference in small-batch recipes.
