Christmas in July – Homemade Taco Seasoning
For my second gift idea this week, I went with a simple gift. Remember those crockpot chicken tacos I made last summer? With the homemade taco seasoning? Hubby and I love that taco seasoning. We use it anywhere you would normally use a packet of store-bought taco seasoning. We love it so much we thought it would be great to share with our family and friends.
So we mixed up a VERY large batch of the seasoning. I ordered some cute little jars and again put labels on them including instructions of how to make the taco seasoning when people ran out. I saved the label files if anyone is interested in them. Just shoot me an email.

love the idea of combining these two flavors! Way to keep each bite interesting 🙂 And perfect for football watching.

I foresee a lot of these crackers coming out of my oven this football season…
Making your own cheez-it’s looks so fun and not too difficult! I love how easy it is to customize your own flavors. I’m thinking white cheddar and ranch!

White cheddar and ranch sounds like a great combination. I agree, they’re so simple and I love customizing them.
These homemade Cheez It Duoz look so good, great for upcoming holidays parties and tailgating, too! Can’t wait to try them!
