Paleo Old Bay–Style Seasoning Blend
That familiar bay-seasoning punch you love on seafood and roasted vegetables is surprisingly easy to recreate at home — and this version keeps every ingredient clean and grain-free. Store-bought spice blends often sneak in anti-caking agents, fillers, or additives that can quietly derail a whole-food approach, so mixing your own is genuinely the smarter move. This blend layers celery salt, turmeric, ginger, and a warm hit of Ceylon cinnamon with classic dried herbs like thyme, oregano, and basil for a complex, deeply savory result. The optional ground cloves add a subtle depth that makes the whole thing feel almost mysterious. Everything comes together in a single bowl with just a whisk and about two minutes of your time, then transfers straight into a jar you can reach for over the next three months. Shake it over shrimp, dust it onto roasted sweet potatoes, or stir it into a marinade — the versatility here is real. Once you have a batch on the shelf, you'll wonder why you ever bought the packaged stuff.
