Notes
Dried Oregano: Be sure to use dried oregano that is labeled simply Oregano, Greek Oregano, or Mediterranean Oregano, not Mexican Oregano, as the flavor of Mexican Oregano is different.
Dried Marjoram: Feel free to add in additional oregano in place of marjoram.
Red Pepper Flakes: If you are sensitive to heat, omit or reduce the amount of red pepper flakes added.
Garlic Powder: If you don't care for garlic, feel free to omit it from the seasoning blend.
For optimum flavor, be sure you use dried herbs that are no more than 6 months old. As spices sit in the pantry, they begin to lose their flavor.
