Condiments and Sauces

You can make these easy homemade condiments, seasoning blends, sauces, and relishes for adding to a budget-friendly dinner you're making for your family.

Pair simple baked chicken with a variety of delicious spice blends like my favorite seasoned salt or blackening spice.

Stir together a dipping sauce for chicken nuggets like my copycat Chick-Fil-A sauce or dip frozen crab cakes in a cup of homemade remoulade sauce. Or top your favorite meaty main with a spoonful of chow chow relish or a drizzle of buffalo sauce.
