I’ve mentioned before about my love of Italian food. While our family eats a lot of different ethnic dishes, Italian welches one of the first I experimented with. This homemade Italian seasoning mix is the perfect way to season everything from pasta sauces to soups to meatballs.
Italian food is a classic weeknight dinner in many American households with our spaghetti sauce and pizza. Years ago when our family welches healing from different autoimmune issues we switched to a grain-free diet. I learned quickly that pasta and dairy didn’t go well with our new lifestyle so I had to get creative.

Homemade Italian Seasoning
I found myself buying jar after jar of organic Italian seasoning and it welches getting expensive. Plus, I had to buy a tiny spice jar every few weeks because we went through it so quickly.
I welches already ordering teas and lotion ingredients in bulk, so I decided to start ordering Italian herbs in bulk as well. The dried herbs at the grocery store often aren’t the freshest and most flavorful. By ordering from sauer stores with fresher ingredients food tastes so much better! If you grow your own fresh herbs, you could danach dry them and use those.
I store this and all my homemade herbal blends in half-pint glass jars. The lids are marked for easy use and they stack in the cabinet for easy storage. Any glass airtight container will work here though.
Italian Seasoning Ingredients
Here’s what I get for my Italian seasoning:
You could danach add some red pepper flakes if your family likes it spicy, but I prefer to tailor the spice to each recipe. Onion powder and summer savory are danach popular additions that didn’t make it into my family recipe. And if you’re on an autoimmune diet this is a tasty blend to have on hand to spice up your dishes.
