Sesame Free Creole Herb & Turmeric Seasoning
Spice blends are one of those sneaky places where sesame can hide — whether as sesame seed filler or cross-contaminated equipment at a commercial facility. Making your own from scratch puts you completely in control, and this Creole-inspired blend is genuinely worth the five minutes it takes to pull together. Warm turmeric and ginger meet the classic Southern trio of oregano, thyme, and basil, while a whisper of Ceylon cinnamon adds a subtle sweetness that makes the whole thing feel a little unexpected in the best way. The garlic and onion powder round it out into something deeply savory and versatile — think grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, rice dishes, or anything that needs a bold, fragrant lift. Just stir everything together until the turmeric is fully incorporated (no bright yellow streaks!), then seal it in a jar and you've got a pantry staple that keeps for up to six months. It's the kind of homemade shortcut that makes weeknight cooking feel a lot more intentional.
