Use this on ground beef, chicken, pork roast or even French fries. For years, I purchased the foil packs in the store- until I read the ingredient list on the back. Turns out, taco seasoning is just several blended spices, most of which you already have on hand. I encourage you to blend your own …
Southerns love to pickle anything out of the garden and I am no exception. This was a quick pickle recipe I threw together last week and I loved it so much, I am sharing it with you! Quick pickles require no preservation method (pressure canning or water bath), they simply go in the fridge to …
