Beef Free Old Bay–Style Seasoning Blend
Spice blends like this one are a pantry essential, and making your own means you know exactly what's going into every pinch. This aromatic mix layers celery salt, dried herbs, warm turmeric, and a hint of Ceylon cinnamon into something that smells incredible the moment you open the jar. Store-bought seasoning blends can sometimes sneak in unexpected additives or be processed alongside animal-derived ingredients, so mixing your own is a smart move for anyone keeping a closer eye on what lands on their plate. The optional ground cloves add a subtle depth that takes the whole blend up a notch, but it's delicious either way. A quick whisk until the turmeric is fully incorporated is all the technique you need, and then it's sealed up and ready to go for up to three months. Shake it over seafood, roasted vegetables, popcorn, or anything else that could use a bold, savory kick.
