Many of the spice packets you buy you can easily make your self. But I will be honest, buying each of the ingredients to make your own mixes does add up.
So here is a fun solution. Have a Mix Party. Each person makes enough of each mix for all members of the group (themselves included). Attach an index card of how to use each mix.
For example: if you have 5 members of each group, pick 5 mixes.
Onion Soup Mix
Chili Seasoning Mix
Chili Cheese and Bacon Dip Mix
Salsa Mix in a Jar
Chicken Fajita seasoning
Each person can make enough mix for 1 or 2 servings a person. It’s up to your group.
Then come together, have some fun and trade mix packets.
Another variation is to have each person bring the same financial amount of ingredients. Get together with the mix recipes and mix them up while visiting. Each mix can have its own station.
I put together the 5 mixes above, along with the ingredients, the price of each and what each serving came out too.
It took my about 2 weeks to do, so I hope you enjoy it!
