A while back my husband and I cleaned out the pantry. And by cleaned out the pantry I said, "I don't think we need Emeril's Asian Essence from 1996." We organized everything, and all of the spices are labeled in neat little jars. In alphabetical order. I repeat in alphabetical order. (No, I don't wash my hands exactly 5 times before bed. Yes, I do like my cooking stuff really organized.) Imagine the horror when I went into the pantry today, looked under "I" for Italian Seasoning and didn't have any. Seriously I second guessed myself and was like, "Damn. Should not have thrown out Emeril's Italian Essence from 1996." It was cold and rainy here and I was making a Crock Pot Ravioli Casserole. And I was in my pajamas and dead set on not leaving the house. Then I remembered that not only am I a food blogger, but I'm a pretty decent cook and coming up with my own Italian Seasoning probably wouldn't be rocket science. After all, I've made my own
Homemade Greek Seasoning and I always make my own
Homemade Taco Seasoning. Why should the Italians be neglected? They shouldn't. And so I whipped up my own Homemade Italian Seasoning and LOVED IT. (I went extra on the red pepper flakes, but well, you know. I'm the DEVILISH Dish.)
