Macadamia Free Italian Herb Blend
There is something deeply satisfying about mixing your own spice blend from scratch, and this Italian herb mix is proof that the simplest pantry projects deliver the biggest payoff. Oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, and optional sage and red pepper flakes come together in one bowl to create a fragrant, versatile seasoning you'll reach for constantly. The small but important step of crumbling the rosemary by hand before mixing ensures every pinch of the blend is balanced and consistent — no rogue needles hijacking a bite. Store-bought Italian seasoning blends can be a gamble when you're navigating allergen concerns, since shared facilities and mystery "natural flavors" are common. Making it yourself means you know exactly what went into the jar, full stop. Sealed in an airtight container and tucked away from heat and light, this blend stays fresh and potent for up to six months. Stir it into pasta sauce, rub it onto roasted vegetables, or shake it over focaccia — the uses are practically endless.
