Homemade Taco Seasoning

Do you love tacos? Me, too. I mean, doesn’t everyone love some sort of version of tacos? Fish, chicken, beef, or a fun veg taco with mushrooms and bell peppers (I’ll share that recipe soon). Well, I have found that amazing tacos are the result of amazing seasoning. This taco seasoning recipe is my personal recipe and was honestly created serendipitously.

That’s right, it happened completely by accident! I was talking to my then 4 yr-old, MJ, and accidentally used paprika as the main ingredient instead of chili powder. At first, I was a bit frustrated and was like “Well, this is ruined”. but my husband Nate and I don’t like to waste, so we decided to try it anyway, cross our fingers, and hope for the best.

How to: Dry Dill (and other herbs)

Drying dill is a convenient way to store your dill and add it to a variety of food dishes, sauces, and dips. If you have a large dill harvest, the drying methods I’m sharing give your the option to continue using your dill throughout the year until the following summer. I also find that even my dry herbs are better in flavor than the ones bought in the store.

Everything BBQ Rub

This everything BBQ rub is perfect for beef, pork, lamb, chicken, and sloppy joes. I have used this on wings, beef and pork ribs, and even lamb ribs, and have found it to be incredibly universal and flavorful.

This makes a small batch of the bbq rub, to make quantity adjustments easier. If you double or even triple it, simply add the bbq rub to a mason jar, put the top on, and shake it up. You’ll always have it on hand.

Versatile Snack Bars

Confession… I sometimes have a hard time finding the balance between balanced meals, snacks, and time. It was far worse when I was younger and had a conventional job at a bank. But still, 2 more kids (nope, now it’s 3), several blog posts, and a craft business later (I don’t do the craft side of my business anymore, but I’m definitely not any less busy), I’m still trying to find a happy medium. I know many of you are out there with the same struggle. I realize this is very much a #firstworldproblem and hopefully, I don’t sound like I’m whining. Truly, I know that I am blessed to be where I am now in comparison to where I was and to be able to share with you all, but balance is key… and finding it is sometimes hard.
