Every month my mother receives her Canadian Living Magazine. Each month I grab her magazine and look through every recipe. It’s a great magazine and the recipes are always tested till perfect. She first received the magazine as a Christmas gift from my Aunt Carol. That was 30+ years ago. July’s issue had a section on spice rubs that caught my eye. The Universal Spice Rub!
The Universal Spice Rub promises to be your go to rub for anything and everything. So far I tested it on chicken, sweet potato wedges, sweet potato chips, more chicken, pork, wings… I’ve loved the results.

Homemade Aioli & Sweet Potato Skins
Enjoy,
I’ll be making this soon! I think I even have all of the spices in my cupboard already =]
It goes really well with sweet potatoes:)
This looks great, but I’m going to eliminate the coconut sugar. You know what is really excellent to use universally is to mix 4 parts salt with 1 part curry powder. The curry taste is hardly there but it enhances all of the other natural flavors in just about anything, especially meat.
