Tip:

You can leave out the cayenne and reduce the black pepper by half to create a "Kid Friendly Creole Seasoning." I always have a jar of this mix in my pantry and use it in a variety of dishes: grilling portobello mushrooms, baking tofu, adding to soups and stews, cooking veggie burgers, or grilling anything that needs a bit of extra flavor. Even picky kids love it. 
To cut down on salt, opt for Kosher salt—it provides a great texture without being overly salty.
