At least one of my weekly meals is centered around taco seasoning, but have you ever looked in the cabinet to find your all out of the pre-made stuff? I have and it’s no fun, but good thing I have a backup recipe. I found my self needing some for a taco bar party I was planning and was all out. Instead of running to the store, I looked in my old recipe journal and realized I had all of the ingredients I needed in my pantry to make some from scratch.
