Cajun Spice Mix Recipe 1

One way to keep our taste buds happy and satisfied without feeling like they are deprived of anything is to add spices and herbs to dishes. I love keeping favorite spice blends on hand so that I can quickly add them meats, poultry, seafood, veggies, and even to dressing to kick my salad up a notch or two.

This Cajun Spice Mix definitely fits the bill for helping me toward my goal for a healthier me in 2012. It’s definitely a spice blend to keep stocked and ready to use. I doubled the recipe to have a little nearly ½ a cup to store in an airtight container. Now, I’m armed and ready!

  4. I love home made spice mixes. I made a load of different ones as part of my Christmas gift baskets. My favourites are Mexican spice mix, Moroccan spice mix and Italian dried herb mix.
    Everyone I gave them to said they were amazing. I’m looking forward to adding this one to them! Thanks for sharing!

  5. Robyn, I love this spice mix, and I keep it as a staple in my pantry to use whenever a recipe needs a little kick. I have also made it to give to my family as part of a spice gift basket at Christmas, and they all love it. Thank you for posting it!

  9. I have made many Cajun Chicken Spice recipes, and I have to say that this is the best, the only difference I would make would be, adding another tsp of dried oregano, and to make it kid friendly, don’t add the black pepper or cayenne powder. I do a marinade with this spice by adding lime juice and olive oil, and if you want the best flavour, cook it over a fire.

    1. Thanks, Ronnie, for your suggestions to make this kid friendly and for using as a marinade. So glad you like it!
