what would you suggest substituting for the oregano? I am allergic to it but still want to use italian seasoning.
Hi Kathleen, you can absolutely just omit the oregano and it will still taste like Italian seasoning. I wouldn’t even worry about adding anything else in its place, truly. The marjoram, basil, rosemary, and thyme are all plenty flavorful! You could add some dried parsley if you want to add in something else. Good luck! Thanks a lot! -Meggan
Hi, is it possible to cut up lasagna into pieces after assembly? Or cut it after it’s frozen? Hoping to make this a piece by piece meal prep.
Hi Sam, I would suggest cutting it up after freezing it. Hope you enjoy! – Meggan

Wanting to make Italian beef sandwiches for the family but I don’t like buying packets at the store due to added salt. I grow my own herbs and have all these dried from last fall’s harvest.
Thank you for this post, helps a ton with making it healthy for my family.
So I’m looking at my EMPTY bottle of McCormick Italian seasoning and it has in addition to what you put: Savory and Sage. Just curious, why you left those two out?
I’ve seen some pretty strange additions in recipes on net like someone added Cilantro, chili powder, red pepper, and garlic. The later is way off. Yours is closest to what I was looking for. But did not know how much sage or savory to add or would be just as good with out it. Thank you very much.
