Monday Menu

So, living far away from all the restaurants and fast food joints it makes eating at home a necessity. Plus the economy has been lousy so eating at home makes more sense. But I work a full time job and sometimes I need to do quick dinners. But I like taste too.

So I have decided to share a recipe or two with all of you.

This first one is actually to make Taco seasoning. It can be used it a multitude of different other recipes. And it is easy and cheaper than buying it from the store. And honestly I like the taste of this one better than most of the store. You can make it mild or spicy or in between.

Taco Seasoning

1 Tbs. Chili Powder
1/4 tsp. Garilc Powder
1/4 tsp. Onion Powder
1/4 tsp. Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
1/4 tsp. Dried Oregano
1/2 tsp. Paprika
1 1/2 tsp. Ground Cumin
1 tsp. Sea Salt
1 tsp. Black Pepper

In a small container mix everything together. Store in an air tight container for up to 6 months.

Notes: This makes a meduim heat Taco Seasoning. If you want a milder seasoning reduce the Crushed Red Pepper Flakes. If you want it hotter add more.

If you do not have Sea Salt you can use regular salt, but reduce it by about 1/8 tsp.

Hold on to this recipe because it can be used in other recipes that require Taco Seasoning.

Enjoy!
