I’m way way far removed from being a health nut. However since we eat a lot of Mexican food, and therefore I purchase a lot of taco seasoning, I looked around to see how to make my own since I don’t really like the packaged flavor. There’s a whole bunch of crap in packaged seasoning, so I figured I had nothing to lose if I just made my own. Result: yum! FYI – I have a really delicious simple recipe for enchilada sauce I’ll share soon!
BTW – this is an amazing Friday, and am sitting here on the dock blogging away. It’s a little rainy but weather beautiful. Here’s my “house”:
You can add heat as you desire, but this is really good, and lot cheaper if you love Mexican food as we do!
