Gut Friendly Old Bay–Style Seasoning Blend
Homemade seasoning blends are one of those small kitchen wins that make a surprisingly big difference, and this one delivers serious depth with every pinch. Commercial spice blends often sneak in additives, fillers, or high-FODMAP ingredients that can quietly wreak havoc on a sensitive digestive system — making a from-scratch version like this genuinely worth the five minutes it takes. Turmeric and ginger are the real stars here, both celebrated for their soothing, anti-inflammatory properties that make this blend as functional as it is flavorful. Ceylon cinnamon adds a gentle warmth that's notably easier on the gut than the more common cassia variety, and the herbaceous trio of thyme, oregano, and basil rounds everything out beautifully. Just whisk it all together until that golden turmeric is fully incorporated, and you've got a versatile blend that works on seafood, roasted vegetables, eggs, or anywhere you'd reach for a bold all-purpose seasoning. Stored in an airtight jar away from heat, it keeps for up to three months — so you can batch it once and enjoy gut-friendly flavor on demand for weeks.
