Homemade Seasoning Mixes

 

Making homemade herb blends is hands-down the easiest way to get the healthiest option and save time + money, because…

• Store-bought spice blends usually contain nasty additives like maltodextrin and/or MSG.
• Most brands of single herbs in store are radiated and therefore don’t possess all of the health benefits that herbs are meant to have.
• A major time consumer of food prep is getting out individual jars of herbs/spices out, measuring each one, looking back at the recipe, measuring again…. you know the drill.  For a majority of recipes, I usually just reach for one of these blends saving lots of time and less MESS!
• Having a way to easily add herbs to meals maximizes the health benefits of any dish.
• Buying high-quality herbs in bulk is cheaper than many smaller containers of store brands that aren’t as healthy
• Making large batches of blends at once only takes minutes.

The 3 blends I always keep on hand are:

Italian Seasoning

Ranch Seasoning

Taco Seasoning

I love these glass airtight containers to store them in.

 

I don’t add salt or pepper to any of my blends because I prefer to add them to recipes based on taste of the individual recipe.
