homemade taco seasoningSince my days as a Pampered Chef consultant, I have loved taco seasoning. We eat a lot of tacos, taco dips, enchiladas, chilis, and other foods that use taco dip, so we go through a lot of it.

I also have high blood pressure, and that premade taco seasoning is insanely high in salt. I’ve been looking for a taco seasoning recipe that tastes as good as my old favorite.

I’ve found one.

This recipe comes from a brand new ebook called Easy. Homemade. by Mandi Ehman.

I’m excited to share Easy. Homemade. with you because it contains recipes for many of the foods I make (and want to make!) at home from scratch.

You know I’m the first person to reach for convenience foods when necessary – pre-made pie crust, whipped cream, and ketchup are high on my list – but we also make a lot of things from scratch.

In almost every case, cooking from scratch is healthier and better-tasting. It’s almost always cheaper, too.

Mandi’s book is on sale through Tuesday night for only 99 cents.

It will go up to $3.99 on Wednesday. Even $3.99 is a great price for this treasure trove of more than 60 homemade recipes.

Read more about Easy. Homemade.

Yes! I’ve been looking for an EASY taco seasoning recipe for awhile now. Those little packets from the store may be convenient, but my family runs through them so fast & that gets pricey! Thanks for the post.
