Sesame Free Herbes de Provence
Making your own spice blends at home is one of those small kitchen habits that pays off every single time you reach for the jar. This fragrant mix brings together thyme, rosemary, savory, marjoram, and oregano with a whisper of dried lavender that gives it that unmistakably southern French character. The optional fennel seeds add a subtle sweetness that rounds out the whole blend beautifully. For anyone navigating sesame sensitivities, store-bought seasoning blends can be a minefield — shared production lines and vague labeling make it hard to know what you're really getting. Mixing it yourself from individual dried herbs means you control every single ingredient, full stop. It takes about two minutes to pull together and keeps for up to six months in an airtight jar, so you'll have a reliable, aromatic staple ready to go whenever a recipe calls for it. Rub it on chicken, stir it into olive oil for dipping, or toss it with roasted vegetables — this little jar earns its place on the shelf fast.
