I like making my own Cajun seasoning, because sometimes the prepared kind is too spicy for my kids. Or it isn’t spicy enough for my husband and me. I like this version because it has a bit of heat, but not too much. And I have all of these seasonings in my cupboard, so it’s easy to whip up another batch when I run out.
