**How to Make Homemade Italian Seasoning**
I absolutely love Italian food. It’s a staple in our household, and one of the first cuisines I experimented with. This homemade Italian seasoning mix is versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes, from pasta sauces to soups to meatballs.
**Switching to a Grain-Free Diet**
Years ago, our family had to switch to a grain-free diet due to autoimmune issues. This meant saying goodbye to pasta and dairy. To adapt to our new lifestyle, I had to get creative with our meals.
**Making Your Own Italian Seasoning**
I used to buy organic Italian seasoning from the store, but it was getting expensive. So, I started ordering Italian herbs in bulk. The dried herbs from the grocery store are not always the freshest, so ordering fresher ingredients made a big difference. If you have your own fresh herbs, you can also dry them and use them for this seasoning mix.
**Ingredients for Italian Seasoning**
For my Italian seasoning mix, I like to use:
– Basil
– Marjoram
– Oregano
– Rosemary
– Thyme
– Garlic
You can also add red pepper flakes for some heat or other herbs like onion powder and summer savory. This blend is perfect for those on an autoimmune diet too.
**How to Make the Italian Seasoning Blend**
1. If your rosemary is whole, chop it in a food processor or grind it with a mortar and pestle.
2. Combine all the herbs in a glass jar and shake well to mix. You can also mix them in a small bowl before transferring them to the jar.
