Tuesday: How to.... DIY Taco Seasoning

Know what's fun? WASTING MONEY!!! Wait.. no, that's not fun at all. Not unless you're a bajillionaire.... so for those of us who are NOT bajillionaires, here's a DIY taco seasoning that you can use to replace those taco seasoning packets.... save 1.19! (if you normally buy Ortega, anyhow....)

Ingredients
*2 tsp chili powder
*1 1/2 tsp onion powder
*1 tsp garlic powder
*1 tsp ground cumin
*1/2 tsp oregano
*Salt, pepper, cayenne pepper to taste

Add LOTS of cayenne if you like it spicy.... Each batch here will replace 1 taco seasoning packet in your recipes. Make a lot and then just add 5 tsp each time you make a batch 'o' tacos! And, just for a little bit of extra zesty/deliciousness, throw in a can of mild diced chilies. YUM! Enjoy!

Monday: Miss Out

Did ya'll miss out on my Monday post for this week? Yeah, I didn't think so. Know WHY I missed out on that post? Because I was busy translating Japanese texts, loving my little baby girl, cleaning out my house, and getting ready for girl's camp. Did I mention I love girl's camp? Because I do. I am a sub-in leader (and for those of you not familiar with it, girl's camp is for girls from ages 12-18 who go up into the forest/woods/desert wherever and learn survival skills, both physical and spiritual) and get to go up her and there during the week. SO, yes, I missed out on my blog post. But do you want to know what? I didn't miss out on anything. Because girl's camp is exceedingly superior. (no offense, MyAmConf...) Because if you really understand the meaning in life... I was right where I was supposed to be. ;)
