Citric Acid Free Italian Seasoning
Making your own spice blend at home is one of those small kitchen moves that pays off every single time you reach for it. Store-bought seasoning mixes can be surprisingly tricky territory — many brands sneak in citric acid as a preservative or anti-caking agent, which makes label-reading a frustrating chore. This homemade version keeps things beautifully simple: just pure dried herbs, nothing hidden, nothing unnecessary. Oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, and marjoram come together in a blend that smells like a Tuscan kitchen and works on everything from roasted vegetables to pasta sauces to grilled chicken. A pinch of sage and a little heat from red pepper flakes are optional additions that let you customize the flavor exactly to your liking. Stir it all together, pour it into a jar, and you've got a pantry staple that stays fresh for up to a year — with zero ingredient anxiety attached.
