KETO RECIPE: DIY Seasonings

When I started Keto I did a overhall of my entire Kitchen. Anything that wasn’t Keto, was out! I started with the fridge- getting rid of sugar rich condiments and that non-keto ice cream in the back of my freezer. Then I went through my pantry and donated any canned goods that no longer fit in my lifestyle. It was like I had a brand new kitchen with lots of space in my pantry. Now I only buy food I like and will eat and is, of course, Keto.

One thing we don’t think about when creating a Keto Kitchen is our spice rack. True, most spice mixes don’t have any sugar, but all of this extra room in my pantry gave me the idea to make my own spice mixes. Don’t have Taco Seasoning, Chili Lime Seasoning, Everything Seasoning? No worries, I’ve got you covered.
