Fajita Seasoning This spice blend is an absolute staple in any pantry, even if you don’t cook Mexican dishes very often. It’s just so full of complex flavor, like sweet paprika, smokey cumin, and hot cayenne. I know you’ll be sprinkling it into any dishes you can think of from now on! The great thing about making your homemade spice blends is that you can control what goes into them. While I used coarse salt in this recipe, you could actually substitute it with a low-sodium table salt and that would drastically reduce the sodium content....

Want in on a secret? I eat pumpkin pie year-round. Yup! I have it for breakfast all the time in the form of a parfait or overnight oats.

The recipe below for the frosting makes about 2 to 3 cups of cream cheese frosting....

Considering that I only eat my pancakes with maple syrup, I was perplexed by his request. It wasn’t until I started spending some time in England that I realized eating pancakes with lemon juice and powdered sugar is a thing over there. Perhaps it’s something that people do in America as well but I just haven’t noticed....
