What do you do when you want to make Jambalaya and do not have Cajun Seasoning? If you have a smartphone you Google a recipe! That’s just what my hubby did the other day while I was cooking lunch. He put together this homemade Cajun Seasoning for the Jambalaya I was putting into the crockpot for dinner. (Another recipe I found online and added to my Camping Pinterest board!)
We used this Cajun Spice Mix from allrecipes as our base. I love having all the ingredients on hand to mix up a new spice mix.
Ingredients:
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 1/4 teaspoon oregano
1 1/4 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Just so happens that I used to sell Tupperware and have kept these nice spice containers for creating our own mixes. They are quite handy for times like this when we want to make a new spice mix from herbs and spices we already own. No need to run to the grocery store to pay high prices for a mix when you can make your own!
