I love Cajun seasoning, but I prefer to make my own, using spices and herbs I already have on hand and reducing the salt. This one is very mild in heat, because my kids and husband aren't fans of spice, but to make it spicier just increase the amount of cayenne pepper.

I love to bake and to try out new recipes! I'm always on the lookout for simple dinners for busy weeknights. A lot of the recipes I post on here are ones I've found on Pinterest or from different bloggers, and that I've tried and really enjoyed, but I always reference to where I got the recipe from in the recipe description and the pictures are my own. If there's no source listed, then it's a rare recipe that I came up with. I have two wonderful kids and I hope to pass on my love of cooking and baking to them.
