home made taco seasoning

Organizing kitchen cupboards, making sure all the mixes and spices and herbs are up to date, refilled and ready for a winter of cooking. In doing so, I saw we were out of our homemade taco seasoning. This #reusable jar contains 8-9 batches of fresh, flavourful #taco seasoning.  We spent many years perfecting this recipe, experimenting with a variety of ingredients until it was perfect. We avoid having to purchase $20 of commercial, non-recyclable envelopes that contain  preservatives as part of the ingredients.  It took about 8 minutes, including clean up, to fill this jar that cost  $1.30 in ingredients...  ...A savings of $19  The savings for just this one recipe pays for the cost of the paperback cookbook.  Find the recipe:   https://www.amazon.com//dp/B0B12M6F3C

Poetry Time

Poetry Time Most of you know already that Dave & I enjoy  Playing With Words , which is why we chose that name for our series of poetry books.  Did you know that one of the books in this series is actually a collection of poetry written by Dave's father, Frank Brummet?   Beautiful BC was written in 2016 and is Frank's ode to Western Canada, where he raised his family (4 children) and where his ashes now reside.  This poem comes out of  Poetic Wanderings , the 3rd book in the  Playing With Words   series . BEAUTIFUL B.C. The West wind is blowing and calling to me, Come back to the mountains, come back to the sea, Green valleys in blossom with blue skies above, I’ll always come home to this land that I love. There’s gold in the sunset where wild geese still fly, Where proud Douglas fir trees are touching the sky, And wild rushing rivers run down to the sea, Dear land of the dogwood, our Beautiful B.C. The wild flowers are blooming, so fragr...

Awesome Fajita mix

It took 10 minutes (including clean up) to make 4 batches worth of this awesome fajita seasoning mix and store it in this reusable jar. We spent years fine tuning this recipe.  * Commercial envelopes, cost  $2-3, are not recyclable and contain only a single batch worth of ingredients - which include chemicals and preservatives.  Avoid the chemicals, preservatives and waste envelopes by making your own.  *This jar containing 4 batches worth of fajita seasoning cost around $1 to make, a savings of $11.

With this series, Dave and I have the pleasure of sharing some great resources which can include  - positive impact organizations and events - citizen science projects  - helpful articles, amazing resources & exciting interviews We hope our readers will reach out to thank them for their work, find a way to network with them, share these sites with others or get involved in some way. ** Want to see a non-profit listed here? - Send us a  FaceBook   or  LinkedIn  message.
