Homemade Spice Mixes

I love to have various homemade spice mixes at on hand at home. When cooking, it takes time to open and measure lots of spices for a recipe. Years ago, before I took the time to learn how to make my own seasoning mixes,

I would often reach for a packet of pre-mixed store-bought seasoning. That was a great time-saver. However, I have found through the years, that I like to create spice mixes to my family’s taste preferences. Therefore, learning how to make my own seasonings is essential.

No Salt Italian Seasoning Mix

When making your own seasonings, you control what goes into the recipe. It is nice to know exactly what is in your mix.

For instance, many pre-made seasonings contain salt and if you are a person that wants to reduce your salt intake, you have the option of making a spice mix that does not include the salt. By creating your own, you are in control of what you are consuming.

Italian Seasoning Ingredients

The main herbs used in this recipe are oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, and savory.

Some folks ask what Savory is. Summer savory is an herb that comes from the mint family. The leaves are narrow and dark green. It is a versatile herb and enhances a wide variety of dishes from soups, stews, beans, and cabbage.

A few optional ingredients that you might want to try for adding a bit of zing to your seasoning is red chili flakes, garlic powder, dried chives or parsley flakes. However, these additional spices I generally like to change the amount added based on the recipe I am making.
