Recipe FAQs
Go right ahead and replace seasonings with this herb blend. If you use it as a single herb, you might find it is overpowering in flavor this way. So I would use it and then add just a few herbs or use it alone.
The lavender in this recipe is one that is needed to be used with caution. You will not want to eat in large quantities. But also, some might have allergens to this herb. So feel free to omit it from the recipe.
Fresh herbs can be used, but you will only want to use at that time. It will not be able to be stored in a container at room temperature. Just know fresh herbs offer different amounts of flavor, so adjust as you would like.
