Well, my Sweet Potato Pound Cake with Pecans this weekend was a complete disaster, guys!!! A tasty disaster that is!! Everyone absolutely loved it! It was gorgeous on the outside but not so pretty on the inside. I just wasn’t happy with the texture so back to the drawing board it is. I’ll keep tweaking it until it’s perfect outside and in. Soooo, what was I to do? I still wanted to make sure that I had something for you this week. And since this is partially a Tex-Mex food blog, I thought I’d dedicate an entire post to Homemade Taco Seasoning since I use it so much in many of the recipes on here.
I’ve used it in my One Pot Taco Spaghetti Skillet, Enchilada Stuffed Spaghetti Squash Boats, Game Day Spicy Totchos, Nacho Typical Fries, Guilt Free Taco Pizza, Slow Cooker Spicy Lentil Chili, and Mexican Style Hot Dogs!! I’m drooling over these memories, guys!! Try one of them this week!!
You can forego those taco seasoning on aisle 8 and just make your own with spices already in your cupboard. This homemade taco seasoning means that you’ll also be foregoing those classics like MSG, anti-caking agents as well as the artificial colors and flavors. SCORE for keeping the family fresh and healthy!!! This homemade taco seasoning is super easy to make and if you want, you could easily quadruple this recipe to keep yourself a stash in the cupboard with the rest of your spices. Just remember that a store bought pack has roughly about 2 Tablespoons.
Are you hurting on the inside but from the looks of it, no one would ever know? Has your heart been broken so badly, you just don’t know where to turn? Are you deeply afflicted? Luke 4:18-19 (NLT) states, 18 โThe Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free,19 and that the time of the Lordโs favor has come. God’s plan for your life is for you to be free from all brokenness and heartache. His love for you is so deep that he wants to give you beauty for those inward ashes, guys!! God’s desire is to fill us with His unending and unconditional love!! Say Grace and enjoy!!

This recipe is perfect! I adore the freshness of the seasoning – so much better than the traditional taco seasoning packets. Doubling the recipe works great and then I have plenty on hand for a Taco Tuesdays. Thanks, Felesha, for sharing this
