Taco Seasoning

Found on Canning Recipe by Carolyn Coker Manns

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 

Put ingredients into a jar and shake. 

ONION MIX 

2/3 cup dried, minced onion 

3 teaspoons parsley flakes 

2 teaspoons onion powder 

2 teaspoons turmeric 

1 teaspoon celery salt 

1 teaspoon sea salt 

1 teaspoon sugar 

1/2 teaspoon ground pepper 

Mix all ingredients in a jar, then give the jar a good shake. I’d recommend shaking the jar to mix the ingredients well before each use. 

Use 4 tablespoons in a recipe in place of 1 packet of onion soup mix. Store this in a dry, cool place. 

RANCH MIX

5 tablespoons dried minced onions 

7 teaspoons parsley flakes 

4 teaspoons salt 

1 teaspoon garlic powder 

Mix together and store in an air tight container. 

For dressing: Mix 2 tablespoons dry mix with 1 cup mayonnaise and 1 cup buttermilk or sour cream. For dip: Mix 2 tablespoons dry mix with 2 cups sour cream. Mix up a few hours before serving, so the flavors all blend. *Can also substitute Greek Yogurt in the Ranch!

1 tablespoon rosemary 

1 tablespoon oregano 

1 tablespoon powdered sage 

1 teaspoon powdered ginger 

1 teaspoon marjoram

Store in an airtight container so it will not lose potency.

Makes about 1-1/4 cups of mix.

To Prepare the Coating Mix:

Add 2 Tablespoons mix to 1 cup of flour, mixing well. I shake together in the bag I’m going to dip my pieces in. I’m not sure if you can find tomato powder in all grocery stores, some Amish stores do have it. But you can easily make your own. With a dehydrator and grinder, you can make virtually any powder you could think of.

Homemade Celery Salt

Found on wholenewmom

Makes approximately 1/2 cup

Ingredients

1/4 cup celery seed 

1/4 cup salt (I recommend Real Salt)

Method 

1. Put celery seed in grinder

2. Grind celery seed to desired consistency.

3. Mix with salt.

NOTES:

1. You can also use kosher (coarse) salt. Just use twice as much salt and grind it together with your celery seed.

2. Celery Seed has a super long shelf life – so you can go ahead and buy it in bulk. Whole spices typically have very long shelf lives, while ground ones are different.
