]]> Although canned beans, especially chickpeas, seem like a really cheap solution to get a lot of nutrition while maintaining taste, chickpeas are one of the easiest beans to cook from dried beans. Buying dried beans will actually save you even more money because they double or even triple in size after they’ve been cooked. If you haven’t cooked dried beans before don’t be intimidated, it’s easier than you think.

Instructions

  1. Start by soaking the chickpeas in a big bowl of water overnight. If you can, try to change the water a few times during the soak. This will help them get bigger since you’re discarding the water with all the chemicals they are releasing.
  2. After 12-24 hours, drain and rinse them, put them in a pot, and fill the pot with water so it covers them by a few inches.
  3. Bring the water to a boil and then down to a simmer for about 45-60 minutes until they’re soft, stirring occasionally so they don’t burn.
  4. At this point, you can either save them for later or season them in the pot with whatever you like.
  5. You can either put them in the fridge for a week, or freeze them for several months!

Taco Seasoning

Homemade Taco 🌮 Seasoning 🧂 (Because I’m allergic to garlic and almost every premade seasoning contains garlic powder I make all my own rubs and seasoning mixes) Ingredients: 5 tsp Onion Powder, 2 tsp Aleppo Pepper flakes, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, 2 tsp Oregano, 5 tsp paprika, 4 Tablespoons ground Cumin, 2 tablespoons sea salt, 8 tsp black pepper, 1 tablespoon ground chipotle Chile pepper, 2 tablespoons Ancho Chile pepper, secret ingredient **1/2 teaspoon jalapeño powder, for the rest of the world—->>2 teaspoons garlic powder. Makes about 1 1/4 cups. Place in a pint jar with a lid. I use this seasoning not only for tacos but I will throw it in casseroles, soups, and as a barbecue or chicken rub too. Enjoy! NonMSG, no fillers, no preservatives #homemadetacoseasoning #diytacoseasining #tacoseasoning #homemadeseasonings #glutenfree #celiac #organicseasonings

Taco seasoning is loaded full of salt, and you don’t need all that in your diet. Instead, make your own at home! Combine 1 tablespoon of chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic, onion, crushed red pepper, and dried oregano powder each, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons of ground cumin, and 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper each. Mix well, store in a jar or container, and use whenever!

Cinnamon Sugar

Whether it’s going into your coffee or on top of your oatmeal, never buy cinnamon sugar at the store! All you need to do is combine 1/2 cup of sugar with 2 tablespoons of cinnamon and you’re set! If you want to add a little more spice, add in 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon of cloves as well.
