Cajun Seasoning Recipe (salt-free)
This Cajun seasoning recipe is a rustic, spicy blend that works beautifully as a rub for ribs. It’s also delicious on other proteins such as chicken and fish. It is also salt-free. You can add the amount to your liking depending on the dish.
Be cautious when you purchase spice mixes. Many brands have salt as the main ingredient. It’s an easy way for suppliers to bulk up spices inexpensively. It also can ruin a dish because of the high salt content. Because of this, I’ve gotten in the habit of making my own recipes of spice rub varieties, including this Cajun Rub.
I’ve learned that it’s a lot less expensive, and in addition, I control the quality and freshness of the spices. I use a lot of smoked paprika in my recipes, and Frontier allows me to buy it in bulk and save a lot of money over the year. I refill my glass spice bottles, rub mix jars, and then vacuum seal the rest until I need more. It also saves me emergency trips to the store. ; )

Welcome to Foodie de Froid!
If you love real food, take pleasure in eating, and strive for mouth-watering flavor, you have come to the right place. Here the star of the show IS the food, presenting it in a way that makes it shine.
Tasting Experiences
We feature many appetizers and individual-sized recipes as a purposeful way to experience and share food.
Our mouth reacts to flavors in a transitional way. That first taste creates an exciting experience with the food’s intense flavors, textures, and visual appeal. Yet after the first few bites, our mouths and minds adjust, and that experience deadens.
Thus, the tasting experience! We served 14 consecutive courses at my last tasting party. Each was purposely selected to bring new flavors, textures, and presentations, creating surprises and wow moments throughout the night.
The Recipes
The recipes are documented with ingredients we love. Yet my greatest hope is to have you understand why the recipes work and eventually make them into your personal version using your favorite ingredients and presentations.
