BHA & BHT Free Italian Seasoning
Store-bought spice blends are one of the sneakiest sources of unwanted additives — preservatives like BHA and BHT often hide in commercial seasoning mixes to extend shelf life. Making your own blend at home puts you completely in control of what goes into the jar. This version layers dried oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, and marjoram into a fragrant, well-balanced mix that smells like a proper Italian kitchen the moment you open the container. A pinch of sage deepens the earthiness, and a little red pepper flakes can bring just enough heat if you want it. The whole thing comes together in about a minute — just stir and store in an airtight jar. It keeps for up to a year, so you can batch it out and reach for it confidently every time a recipe calls for Italian seasoning, knowing exactly what's in there.
