Peanut Free Italian Herb Blend
A good homemade spice blend is one of those kitchen staples that quietly upgrades everything it touches — pasta sauces, roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, focaccia, you name it. This one layers oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, and optional sage into a fragrant, balanced mix that tastes far more complex than the sum of its parts. The small step of crumbling the rosemary by hand before mixing makes a real difference, helping every pinch of the blend measure and distribute evenly. Store-bought Italian seasoning can be a surprisingly tricky category for anyone avoiding cross-contact, since blending facilities often handle multiple allergens and labels aren't always clear. Making your own at home means you control every single ingredient that goes into the jar. Sealed up and tucked in a cool, dark spot, this blend stays fresh and potent for up to six months — so one quick batch keeps your cooking covered for a long time.
