Homemade Taco Seasoning Mix!

No need to buy those expensive packets again! Taco seasoning is quick and easy to make! Make a large batch and store in a jar. 3 Tablespoons = 1 store bought package.
2 Tablespoon Sea Salt
2 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
2 Tablespoon Paprika
1/4 Cup ground Cumin
1/2 Cup Onion Powder
1 Cup Chili Powder
Mix well. Shake jar to mix before each use. This makes quite a bit, you can easily 1/2 or 1/4 the recipe if you would like.
To spice it up try adding black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes.
Sauce to thin? Thicken it up with a little corn starch.
Want to add flavor to your next BBQ? Try adding some taco seasoning to your burger patties or add a bit to some mayo for a fun kick!

Clean your fridge!

A simple way to remove smells from your fridge or lunchbox is to simply wet a sponge or small towell with white vinegar. Wipe the surface that needs cleaning, and let dry. The vinegar smell will go away when it dries and will neutralize all other smells!
