These are the cutest little things! The only thing I did differently was to omit the celery flakes. I have made spice blends before, but this is so nice to make your own and put it into a little bag. This will make wonderful gifts for the holidays. Possibilities are endless.Awesome!

These are great! I followed the directions precisely as written, then used a boquet to season some beef broth I had in my freezer. I thawed the broth, tasted it, and then simmered it about an hour with the boquet garni. It definitely enhanced the flavor. I will be keeping these on hand from now on, and I even have the perfect jar to keep them in!
