Cinnamon Free Herbes de Provence
Making your own spice blends from scratch is one of those small kitchen habits that pays off in a big way. This fragrant mix of thyme, rosemary, savory, marjoram, oregano, lavender flowers, and optional fennel seeds captures the sun-drenched spirit of southern French cooking in a single jar. For anyone who needs to avoid cinnamon, store-bought blends and seasoning packets can be a minefield — even "savory" mixes sometimes sneak in warm spices that have no business being there. Mixing it yourself means you know exactly what's in it, full stop. The dried lavender gives it a floral lift that makes it feel genuinely special, while the thyme and rosemary keep things grounded and deeply savory. Stir it together, seal it up, and you've got a versatile herb blend ready to go on roasted chicken, vegetables, grilled fish, or anything else that could use a little Provençal magic. It keeps for up to six months, so one quick batch goes a long way.
