My mom definitely gets the credit for this recipe. What started as something that she only made at Thanksgiving time to use in our turkey marinade has turned into a beloved spice blend that most members of my family always have on hand.

It is a good all purpose seasoning to use on a wide variety of foods - chicken, roasted vegetables, and salad dressings just to name a few.

It also makes a great gift. You can use small mason jars, or get a little fancier with your own spice jars, that can be filled and given away.
