Notes

- If you're looking for more flavor for your Italian seasoning replacement, try one of these: garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, dried parsley, paprika adds color, cayenne pepper adds more heat, fennel seeds (which I love adding to our homemade lasagna).
- If you choose to use any fresh herbs, you will have to refrigerate the seasoning mix and it will only last a couple of days in the fridge. But if you're using it right away, then yes. If a recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of dried herbs, the rule of thumb is to use 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs.
- Fresh herbs are especially good in spaghetti sauce and when making marinades such as our garlic butter beef steak, pork or in our cast iron chicken breasts.
- If you'd like to make a bulk mix of the Italian seasoning blend, simply add equal amounts of each spice and mix well. Store in an airtight container or mason jar with a lid at room temperature.
