BHA & BHT Free Herbes de Provence
Making your own spice blend at home is one of the simplest ways to take control of what goes into your food, and this fragrant Provençal mix is a perfect place to start. Many store-bought herb blends quietly contain preservatives like BHA and BHT to extend shelf life, so mixing your own from scratch is a genuinely smart move. This blend layers dried thyme, rosemary, savory, marjoram, and oregano with the floral lift of lavender flowers — the result is aromatic, complex, and deeply Southern French in character. A pinch of fennel seeds rounds things out beautifully if you want a subtle anise note. It comes together in minutes with nothing more than a bowl and a spoon, then stores in an airtight jar for up to six months. Rub it onto roasted chicken, stir it into olive oil for dipping, or scatter it over roasted vegetables — the uses are practically endless.
