Going Clean- Taco seasoning

For a while now I have been reading up on the idea of going clean. Slowly but surely I am replacing our processed foods with good clean alternatives. One of my favorites I found via Pinterest, but you can find it here! I am still new to the whole cooking thing so when I saw this pin my first thought was- you can do that?!!?...I had no clue, ridiculous...I know. I first made the taco seasoning and we have been using it for a few months now! We use this seasoning with ground turkey when we make tacos.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup chili powder

1/4 cup onion powder

1/8 cup ground cumin

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon paprika

1 tablespoon sea salt

(the paprika is MIA in this picture..guess we are out!)

Put all of the ingredients into the jar of your choice and shake it up!

Using it while cooking:

Brown your meat in a skillet (we prefer ground turkey) and drain the fat 

Add 3 tbsp per pound of meat and 2/3 cup of water 

Mix it all up and let it simmer!

We use this in a variety of ways. My husband enjoys tacos and his own creations that imitate Taco Bell dishes. I prefer taco salad and we use the meat to make quesadillas for the boys!

3 Day Weekend

I absolutely love 3 day weekends with my family. Daddy was gone this weekend so it was just me and the boys. We had a lot of fun! Friday night they spent the night with Nana & Papa. Saturday we went to Austin to see Sesame Street Live (they LOVED it) and spent the day eating lunch in Austin. Saturday night Alisha and I attempted our first cousin sleepover. The kids had fun but we didn't get much sleep. Sunday we met up with Nana & Papa for lunch and then they took the boys while I ran a few errands, aka went shopping at Target :) Today we made a quick trip into town and then came home to relax and get ready for the week! Here are a few pictures from today :)

My handsome 3 year old

One of my goals this year is to take more day to day pictures of my boys. I have realized that the most pictures I have of my kids are on my iPhone. So from here on out I am taking more pictures of my handsome babies!!

Here are a few pictures of my little cowboy today while he was watching Space Jam (his favorite movie of the week)
