Why make your own homemade herb mix?
There are so many reasons to make your own seasoning blends. As well as saving time, you can also make money by making this Italian seasoning recipe. Dried herbs do have a shelf life and can dramatically lose their flavor after a few months. I don’t know about you, but I’m always throwing out half packets of stale herbs and spices! By making your own mix, you are less likely to be throwing out individual packets as it’s so easy to incorporate into dishes.
How do you use this Italian seasoning recipe?

- Fettuccine Alfredo with Sausage (Italian Sausage Alfredo)

It’s also great for seasoning and dry rubbing meat, such as pork and chicken, it can be used in soups or sprinkled into bread dough for extra flavor.
