Spicey Pop Corn

I got this recipe from my MIL. My daughter loves putting this seasoning on her pop corn.

Spicey Pop Corn

2 T vegetable oil
1 cup popping corn kernels
2 t. melted butter
1/2 t. sweet paprika
1 t. salt
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 t. cumin
1/4 t. cayenne pepper

Heat oil in deep pot over medium high heat. Add corn. Cover pot and pop the corn, shaking pan often. Remove from heat. Drizzle with melted butter. Combine spices in small dish and sprinkle the blend over hot corn. Serve.

Taco Seasoning

With all of my daughter's new food allergies, even the simple things like store bought taco seasoning became a challenge. There was always one ingredient she couldn't have. I found this recipe online and tastes just like the little packs of seasoning you buy at stores. I will never buy the store bought stuff again. I also make it in big batches and store it in jelly mason jar.

Taco Seasoning

• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, Cayenne, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt and pepper. Store in an airtight container. Add about 2-3 tablespoons to 1 lb cooked ground beef or ground turkey with 3/4 cup water. Cook until water is cooked off.
