Recently, my husband was told that he had to cut down on his sodium intake. Now this might not sound like a huge deal, but it kind of is. Sodium is in everything, especially spice mixes. He isn't able to have any of that anymore. So I have had to make spice mixes instead of buying them. Now, I have found in the past few weeks that this isn't as hard as it seems. Plus, the taco seasoning that I created tastes better than the one you buy at the store, and it's with spices I already have, and no salt! Woohoo!!
So here are recipes for taco seasoning and italian seasoning...
