There’s one thing that I really enjoy doing with my son, and it’s cooking! We recently made a batch of spice seasonings to gift. Nothing like homemade spices instead of the store bought ones. You also save a ton of money, too!

We gathered our materials measuring cups, spoons, mason jars and the seasonings. Then we got started! Just an FYI it will get very messy! I also had raffia to decorate and labels for each jar. We made a taco, ranch, Italian, chili and adobo seasonings.

These are awesome to give as gifts, too! Little one sent adobo to his Abuela in Puerto Rico, and she seasoned a pernil (pork shoulder) and his Titi (Auntie) in Mississippi made enchiladas with the taco seasoning.
