Homemade Taco Seasoning

I have been meaning to make my own taco seasoning for years and now that I have been making it for awhile, I cannot believe it took me this long! This should have been a given for me a long time, since I already use a lot of herbs and spices, it was just a matter of putting them together. Not only do I love how easy homemade taco seasoning is to prepare, but I love that I have control over what ingredients go into the seasoning. If you have ever read the ingredients on the back of a prepared taco seasoning packet, then you know exactly what I mean. And if you haven’t yet, do yourself a favor and check it out next time you’re at the grocery store.

Refreshing Fruit Smoothies

If you are looking to start off your day with a burst of energy, then here is a list of fifteen refreshing fruit smoothies recipes you will definitely want to try out. And the great thing about every single one of these smoothies is that they all contain healthy ingredients. When you are making a fruit smoothie, there is no need to add sugar or other processed foods since most fruit contains more than enough of their own natural sugars. While concocting these delicious smoothies, it should be noted that while they’re loaded with nutrients, they can be calorically dense as well. It’s tempting to chug a ton of these smoothies when you first start out, but keep in mind that a little goes a long way. I highly recommend making a batch, having a glass and then freezing the rest. Smoothies freeze (and thaw) very well and are just as scrumptious frozen. Yum! 🙂 And if you’re looking for more healthy smoothie recipes, be sure and check out this highly rated book on Amazon, The Healthy Smoothie Bible, which is loaded with tons of recipes and beautiful illustrations.

1. Tropical Fruit Breakfast Smoothie from Half Baked Harvest, includes a simple coconut granola topping.

2. Rainbow Smoothie from Cook Like a Cavewoman. Contains a veritable rainbow of fruit including mangoes and blueberries.

3. Sunshine Smoothie from Sally’s Baking Addiction. This one ought to get your day off to an awesome start with vibrant mix of bananas, oranges and pineapple.

4. Clean Eating Cinnamon Apple Smoothie from The Gracious Pantry with a delightful mix of apples, cinnamon, spinach and almondmilk. And if you go through a lot of cinnamon like I do, you will love this Starwest Botanicals Organic Cinnamon Powder, it is a fraction of the price of grocery store cinnamon in those tiny containers AND it’s organic. So good!

5. Watermelon Smoothie from Citron Limette, which sounds like the perfect summer treat!

Easy Cabbage and Chicken Soup Recipe

I have been wanting to experiment with making my own soups for a long time now, so I set out to make a tasty, yet healthy Cabbage and Chicken Soup recipe. I wanted to come up with an easy cabbage soup recipe that was hearty, yet not overly-filling. I like to try out different spices, but the ones included in this recipe are totally optional. That’s the great thing about soups, you can add and subtract items to suit your own tastes. I concocted this recipe based on what I already had on hand. When I cook chicken, for example, I usually prepare about double the amount and half of it goes in the freezer. That makes it super easy to prepare a dish on  the fly. Anyway, onto my creation, I loved how easy this was to prepare. It also works great in a slow cooker and it freezes really well too.

Easy Cabbage and Chicken Soup Recipe

Ingredients

  • 10 Cups Water
  • 1 Tablespoon Better Than Bouillon Chicken (you can use chicken broth instead if you like)
  • 4 Chicken Thighs, Cubed
  • 1/2 Large Head Cabbage, Chopped
  • 1 Small Yellow Onion, Diced
  • 2 Carrots, Diced
  • 2 Celery Stalks, Diced
  • 1/3 Cup Green Bell Pepper, Diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
  • Pinch of Turmeric

Directions

Use a 5-Quart pot. Add water, all the vegetables except the bell pepper and bring to a boil. Let simmer for about 5 minutes, then add the cubed chicken, bouillon, spices and bell pepper, then simmer for another 20 minutes or so, stirring on occasion. Cook to taste.  Let sit about 5-10 minutes, then serve. That’s it!

Options

Personally, I like to add a dollop of plain greek yogurt on the top of this soup.  Other topping options could include sour cream, parmesan or a sprig of parsley. Also, you can substitute chicken breast for chicken thighs, but I find the dark meat lends more flavor to this hearty soup.  You can also make this in a crock pot for around 4 hours on high. I would recommend not adding the seasonings until the last hour of cooking though.
