So versatile: Italian seasoning isn’t just for Italian-inspired dishes! it’s an incredible spice blend for beef marinades, as a spice rub for chicken, on scrambled eggs and more! Salt control: You get to control how much salt you put in your spice blends. When you buy store-bought blends they often have quite a bit of sodium and sometimes even fillers. Heat: Having control over the spice level and sweetness of spice blends is so helpful. You can truly make it your own! Make-Ahead: Once you find a mix you like, you can make a double or a triple batch and have it on hand.
