Lupin Free Italian Herb Blend
A homemade herb blend is one of those small kitchen projects that pays off every single time you reach for it. This mix layers oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, and optional sage into a fragrant, versatile seasoning that elevates pasta sauces, roasted vegetables, grilled meats, and so much more. The simple step of crumbling the rosemary by hand before mixing makes a real difference — it means every pinch of the blend is balanced and consistent rather than dominated by stiff needle pieces. Store-bought Italian seasoning blends can be a minefield, with shared production lines and fillers that introduce unwanted ingredients, so mixing your own from single-herb jars gives you full control over what goes in. A pinch of red pepper flakes is optional but adds a gentle warmth that takes the blend from good to genuinely memorable. Stored in an airtight jar away from heat and light, this keeps beautifully for up to six months — meaning one quick batch keeps your cooking well-seasoned for the long haul.
