DIY Cajun Seasoning

Experiment with making your own seasoning blends! Keeping the basics on hand gives you lots of options for seasonings you can whip up as you need them rather than spending a lot of money on spice blends you may use once or twice a year. If you have food allergies, seasoning blends can also contain problematic ingredients, so be sure to read labels–or make your own! Use this recipe as a starting point. Be creative and adjust the measurements. Add or omit ingredients based on what you have in your pantry right now. Give it a try and let me know how it goes!
