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
