I find it easy to make spice blends, all depending on how I would like the finished product to taste. A lot depends on the depth of your palate as to what you can achieve.  I make my own personal spin, on traditional blends of spices, using only fresh, organic ingredients. I use very low quantities of salt/sugar in my cooking. Experiment away and keep a log of the different combinations of spices you use and the flavors you have created. This way, successes can be replicated and repeating mistakes can be avoided.

Good luck!!!

I baked some focaccia bread to have with an Italian dinner tonight. The family likes a dipping oil to go with the warm bread. I make a dry mix to keep on hand that‘s useful a lot of ways.
1 Tbs oregano
1 Tbs parsley flakes
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 Tbs Mrs Dash herb and garlic seasoning.
Just add a teaspoon of this blend to a 1/4 Cup of olive oil, and allow to warm in a small sauce pan over very low heat for 10 minutes.
I use this brushed on chicken that is baked or grilled. It's good on vegetables, as well.
Easy starter for you to try, no salt or sugar required.
Modify it to be as spicy or mild as you want it. Coarse black pepper, or sea salt can be added, and granulated onion works in well too. Use it dry on steaks and chops, add some dill, shake it on grilled fish.
Just an idea for starting your own blend. No salt or sugar required !
