Cajun Seasoning – Make Your Own

My husband was shopping around for a good cajun seasoning mix.

We read labels.

We found sugar.

We found additives.

We decided to make our own.

I compared a few online recipes and decided to try the one from www.allrecipes.com.

Here’s what you need:

• salt
• garlic powder
• paprika
• ground black pepper
• onion powder
• cayenne pepper
• dried oregano
• dried thyme
• red pepper flakes (optional)

Depending on how many servings you want, you can modify the amounts required. I wanted to make approximately one cup, so here are the quantities I used (teaspoons):

• 8 salt
• 8 garlic powder
• 10 paprika
• 4 ground black pepper
• 4 onion powder
• 4 cayenne pepper
• 5 dried oregano
• 5 dried thyme
• 2 red pepper flakes (optional)

Stir all the ingredients together and store in an airtight container.

I have an old blender that I can use with a mason jar in lieu of the original glass jar. I put all of the ingredients into the mason jar and blended the mixture until it became a very fine powder. If you make it, please let me know how it turns out.
