Mushroom Free Old Bay–Style Seasoning Blend
That classic bay-style seasoning you reach for on seafood, corn, and fries can be a sneaky source of concern when you're avoiding certain ingredients — store-bought blends often include fillers or natural flavor extracts with murky origins. This homemade version keeps things completely transparent, built from straightforward dried herbs and spices you can verify yourself. Celery salt and a warm trio of turmeric, ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon give it that signature savory-sweet depth, while oregano, thyme, and basil round out the herbal backbone. A touch of garlic and onion powder ties everything together into something that smells absolutely incredible the moment you start whisking. The whole thing comes together in minutes and stores in a sealed jar for up to three months, so you can batch it ahead and have it ready whenever a recipe calls for that bold, briny kick. Shake it over roasted potatoes, rub it onto chicken, or toss it with shrimp — it's endlessly versatile and entirely yours to control.
