Walnut Free Old Bay–Style Seasoning Blend
Store-bought seasoning blends can be a minefield when you're avoiding tree nuts — shared facilities, vague "natural flavors," and labels that leave you guessing. Making your own at home puts you completely in control of every single ingredient that goes into the jar. This blend layers celery salt, warming ginger, earthy turmeric, and a bouquet of dried herbs into something deeply savory with just a whisper of sweetness from Ceylon cinnamon. The result is a bold, complex seasoning that punches way above its weight on seafood, roasted vegetables, popcorn, or anything that needs a little kick. It comes together in minutes — just whisk everything until that bright turmeric is fully incorporated and there are no streaks left. Sealed up in an airtight jar and kept away from heat and light, it stays fresh for up to three months, so you can batch it out and have it ready whenever the mood strikes. Once you've made your own, reaching for a mystery tin at the grocery store is going to feel completely unnecessary.
