How to Make Italian Seasoning
This evening I wanted to make lasagna, but before I could make lasagna, I needed to make Spaghetti Sauce. And before I could make Spaghetti Sauce I had to make Italian Seasoning…
Making your own seasoning mixes allows you to tailor them to your tastes. It also gives you control over the quality and saves you a few pennies. When I make my own seasoning mixes, I am able to save even more money by using herbs that I have grown and dried myself. It is still early enough in the season for you to start an herb garden for yourself.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons oregano
2 tablespoons basil
2 tablespoons parsley
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon rosemary
Directions:
In a small bowl, combine all of the ingredients.
Store in an airtight container for up to 6 months. I reuse spice jars to store my spice mixes.
More spice mixes you can make from scratch:
Poultry Seasoning
Pumpkin Pie Spice
Taco Seasoning
