Ditch Those Seasoning Packets!

So you're making tacos for dinner tonight. Once you have your meat ready, you reach for your taco seasoning packet and mix it in with some water, right? ehhhhhhh WRONG! Put that nasty thing down!

Have you ever paid attention to the ingredients in those pre-packaged mixes? They're loaded with things like sugar, MSG, oils from GMO sources, and even gluten.

It may seem like a far fetched, pain in the rear idea at first. But honestly, it's so simple and it takes very little time. I have been making them as I need them but in large batches. So I have some for right now, and at least a few more times. For storage, I either use the small mason jars or recycle old spice mix jars, pesto jars, etc. Just as long as it's air tight.

Now you may think that your blend should look and taste exactly the same as those handy $.99 packets from the store. Wrong again. They're going to look quite a bit different, and it may take you a few tries to get your favorite recipe down pat. But trust me when I tell you that it's worth it. Not only can you create your own individual, favorite taste, but you're also taking another step to eating cleaner and eliminating another handful of toxins, GMO's and chemicals from your life.
