I’m blogging from the beach in Gulf Shores, AL this week. I’ve already done some cooking for a small army, and will continue on until Friday. After that, the plan is to be a diet of sorts for a few weeks until the kids are home after two weeks with their dad.
Monday: Potato Soup
Tuesday: Mexican (Taco Seasoning Recipe Below) and Neen’s Homemade Ice Cream
Wednesday: Chicken Pot Pie
Thursday: Roast Beast Beef, carrots and potatoes, Peach Cobbler
Friday: Mama’s home with no kids, so I’m NOT cooking!
Recipe: Taco Seasoning
*Note* I’ve been using this recipe for a few years, and wish that I would have brought my can from home for vacation this week. I add a little water to my ground beef before adding this, and as a dry rub for chicken or steak. I also add salt to taste, but only after everything is done.
Ingredients
1 cup dried minced onion (this is one of the 2 oz. bottles from Walmart)
1/3 cup cup chili powder
2 tablespoons cumin (I actually add an extra tablespoon-we love cumin)
4 teaspoons crushed red pepper (this can get spicy, use less if you have little ones or don’t like it too hot)
1 tablespoon oregano
4 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
Instructions
Combine all ingredients and store in a cool, dry place.
When you’re using for Mexican dishes, use about 1 tablespoon or so per 1 pound ground beef, or chicken or beans. More if you like the extra flavor.
