Breastfeeding Friendly Italian Herb Blend
Having a reliable, homemade seasoning blend on hand is one of those small kitchen wins that quietly transforms everyday cooking. This mix layers oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, and marjoram into a fragrant, versatile blend that works beautifully on roasted vegetables, pasta, grilled proteins, and more. When you're nursing, knowing exactly what's in your food matters — and making your own blend means no mystery fillers, anti-caking agents, or preservatives that sometimes sneak into store-bought versions. The optional sage and red pepper flakes let you customize the heat and depth to your own taste and comfort level. Crumbling the rosemary by hand before mixing is a small but smart step that keeps the texture consistent so every pinch delivers balanced flavor. Stored in an airtight jar, a single batch stays fresh for up to six months, meaning you can season confidently for months without having to think twice about what's going into your meals.
