Why spend a fortune on tiny bottles of spice mixes when you can make your own blend?

Ridiculously easy and you probably already have all of these in your pantry anyway.

Ingredients

1 1/2 Tbsp. Spanish Paprika
1 Tbsp. Garlic Powder
1 Tbsp. Onion Powder
1 Tbsp Dried Thyme
1 tsp. Black Pepper
1 tsp. Cayenne Pepper
1 tsp. Dried Basil
1 tsp. Dried Oregano

Directions

In a mortar and pestle, grind all ingredients together, place in a spice jar.  You now have your very own instant Cajun Seasoning Mix! Feel free to adjust the amounts of each spice/herb to your liking too.

Yield: Enough to fill one spice jar.
