    Homemade Taco Seasoning

    January 27, 2018 /

    Clean eating taco seasoning! This homemade taco seasoning is not just yummy, it offers all the benefits of no artificial ingredients, additives or preservatives!  Salt free too!  Use it to season ground beef, or if you really want to go lean, this homemade taco seasoning is also amazing for ground chicken or turkey.  The cayenne gives it a little bit of a zip – I would classify it as ‘medium’ in terms of hotness. If you prefer your taco seasoning to be ‘mild’, cut down the cayenne.  Make Mexican rice by using it to season cooked rice (brown rice, of course, to keep it clean eating).  Make up a larger…

    (British Style) Beans in Tomato Sauce Recipe – Make Your Own, Just Like Heinz

    April 20, 2017 /

    This is a knock-off recipe for Heinz Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce – British Style.  I have come to learn that the Heinz Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce recipe is different in the UK than it is in the US and Canada.  So if you are British, you’ll love this.  If you’re North American, give it a go anyway to taste the difference.  I’m still hunting for a North American copycat Heinz Beans in Tomato Sauce recipe, and will update this post when I find one, but in the meantime, I intend to use this one (I’ll just pretend I’m a Brit) 🙂 The British serve baked beans on toast.…
