Comments
This is a spice blend to make at home, not a recipe to cook, and it checks every box for a Charlotte kitchen. All five ingredients are shelf-staples at any major grocery chain—black pepper, garlic powder, dried parsley, and dried onion are basics everywhere, and dried milk powder is a standard Kroger or Harris Teeter stock item. The cost per serving is nearly free, since you are making ten portions from pantry staples that cost a few dollars total and last for months. There is no prep time at all; you mix in a bowl and you are done. The only minor caveat is that dried milk powder can clump if your kitchen is humid, so store it airtight and add a silica packet if you live in a damp area.
