Homemade Seasonings

A few weeks ago, the boys wanted tacos, after I thawed and fried the hamburg I realized I didn't have any taco seasoning so I searched the internet for a taco seasoning I could make from scratch.


Taco Seasoning Mix

2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp onion powder
3/4 tsp garlic salt
1-1/2 tsp paprika
1-12tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
dash of cayenne

Preparation:

Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Pour into small glass or plastic container, seal tightly and store in a cool, dry place



I also found this fajita seasoning mix, really liked this one.

Fajita Seasoning

  • 3 Tbsp. cornstarch
  • 2 Tbsp. chili powder
  • 1 Tbsp. salt
  • 1 Tbsp. paprika
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • 2-1/2 tsp. crushed chicken bouillon cube
  • 1-1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 tsp. cumin

Preparation:

Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Pour into small glass or plastic container, seal tightly and store in a cool, dry place. Makes the equivalent of 3 packets of commercial or purchased Fajita Seasoning Mix.

Baked Apples

Last fall I canned applesauce, for 4 bushels worth and it was already gone a couple months ago.  So I've been buying applesauce for the store but it's just not the same.  So I remembered this recipe my mom used to make when I was a kid and wanted to share it with you.




what you need
  • 6-8 Apples
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 TBLS flour
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Little Cinnamon
  • 2 TBSP butter
make it
Peel and quarter apples in 1/8's and put into 2 quart baking dish. Pour water over apples. Mix sugar, flour, salt and pour over apples. Sprinkle top with cinnamon and dot with butter. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
Notes
To make this recipe faster, put in microwave to 10-15 minutes instead
