Whole 30 Old Bay–Style Seasoning Blend
Reaching for a classic seafood seasoning blend can feel like a minefield when you're eating clean — most store-bought versions sneak in sugar, anti-caking agents, or other additives that quietly knock you out of compliance. This homemade blend solves that problem in about five minutes flat. Warm turmeric and ginger anchor the mix with earthy depth, while celery salt, garlic powder, and onion powder deliver that savory, briny backbone you expect from a great all-purpose seasoning. Dried thyme, oregano, and basil round things out with herbal brightness, and a touch of Ceylon cinnamon adds just enough warmth to make the whole blend feel complex and layered. Simply whisk everything together, pour it into an airtight jar, and you've got a pantry staple that keeps for up to three months. Shake it over shrimp, stir it into cauliflower mash, or use it to season roasted vegetables — the possibilities are genuinely endless. Once you make your own, it's hard to imagine going back to the store-bought version.
