We have used this recipe a few times and have really liked it! Use instead of individual taco seasoning packets in any recipe. It makes the equivalent of 12 taco seasoning packets.
1/2 c. dried minced onion
1/4 c. chili powder
2 T. cornstarch
1/2 T. salt (watch out with the salt, more than this makes really salty meat!)
2 T. crushed red pepper
2 T. garlic powder
2 T. ground cumin
1 T. oregano
This looks very pretty when layered in a ball jar! But, sadly, it has to be mixed up for long term use and storage.

Caleb helped me to make an apple pie while we were at my Grandma’s house for Thanksgiving. He rolled out the dough into a circle for the bottom crust. He placed the cut apples in the pie. He rolled the dough into a circle for the top. After I cut the top into strips he made the lattice pattern on the top of the pie; I was so surprised by how quickly he caught onto the pattern.
We had so much fun and he felt so accomplished with HIS pie! I love watching that little guy grow in the number of things that he can do and in how well he can converse. There were several funny caleb conversations during the weekend - what a great kid.
He was born with so much to overcome and he is growing up to be a wonderful, delightful, though somewhat tiring little boy!
