Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice
If you’ve been using the same old jar of pumpkin pie spice for years and years, it’s time to upgrade! Making your own is so easy, and I’m willing to bet you already have the ingredients in your cupboard.

Homemade Chai Spice Blend
Chai spice, if you’ve never had it, is like the exotic, more interesting cousin to pumpkin pie spice. I’m not quite tired of pumpkin pie spice, but after making homemade chai spice, I think my pumpkin spice might be pushed to the back of the cabinet this year. I’m not sure why it took …
