Rice Free Old Bay–Style Seasoning Blend
Many store-bought seasoning blends sneak in anti-caking agents or fillers that can include grain-derived starches, making label-reading a frustrating chore. This homemade blend sidesteps all of that by relying entirely on pure dried herbs and spices — every single ingredient is exactly what it says it is. The combination of celery salt, warm turmeric, ginger, and a whisper of Ceylon cinnamon creates that iconic briny, savory depth with a complexity that genuinely rivals the classic. A quick whisk in a bowl is all it takes, and within minutes you have a jar ready to season seafood, roasted vegetables, or anything else that could use a bold, aromatic kick. Storing it in an airtight container means it stays fresh and potent for up to three months, so you can batch it ahead and reach for it whenever the mood strikes. Once you have this on your spice shelf, you'll wonder why you ever bothered with the packaged version.
