TACO CRESCENT ROLLS

June 26, 2012

My older sister, friend, confidant, bridesmaid Carmon has to do nothing to get me to come over other than tell me she is making this. I have eaten and loved it so many times, it is shocking that it did not dawn on me until about two weeks ago that I could possibly ask her for the recipe and just make it for myself. I am new at not living the dorm lifestyle. I have a kitchen now!

HOMEMADE TACO SEASONING

June 25, 2012

Tacos and mexican food is fantastic; everyone knows this. I just did not really like buying the low brow store packets of taco seasoning. I had a hunch I could make something more flavorful. And have it ready and easier to use in a big batch from home. Enter: Homemade Taco Seasoning.

MEXICAN SEASONING from Rachel Schultz

HOMEMADE TACO SEASONING
Makes about 20 servings

1 and 1/4 cup chili powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons dried oregano
4 tablespoons paprika
1/2 cup cumin
1/3 cup pepper

I multiplied the above recipe by 10 to store and use conveniently on future Taco Nights. Measure and pour all ingredients into a storage container.

A mason jar is perfect because when you’re done you can seal the lid and mix the ingredients really easily and thoroughly. Have fun saving your kidneys!

It’s a use for white fish that doesn’t feel sad, which is sometimes hard to do. Also it is somehow a burger that feels light. Get ready for the watermelon salsa too.
