Skinny Taco Seasoning — The Skinny Fork by Gordon Ramsay

Those small packets at the store are full of sodium, mystery ingredients, wasted calories, and who knows what else. Not to mention they cost you an easy $.50-$2 per packet, for one meal. You can buy spices at the dollar store for $.50 each, and even cheaper at bulk stores. Spend $3 and have enough spices to season dozens of more cost efficient, flavorful and healthier meals!

The seasoning recipe is easy to double, triple, quadruple! It’s full of great flavor and minimal salt. Unlike most of the pre-packaged taco seasonings out there which tend to be laced with no only sodium, but lots of other baddies and unneeded things too.

YOU! Yes, you! Are you making this year a healthier year? I know I am! This year, just as with every year, I’m striving to eat less and less meat for a plethora of reasons. And just like me, once you try these Vegan Biscuits & Vegetarian Country Sausage Gravy… you’ll be convinced just like I was! There are two things that make me nervous in the kitchen though, and that’s baking and anything involving a roux.

A roux is a thickening mixture that’s made using butter and flour, and as I’ve found out over the years, it can be tricky. Or can it? Maybe it’s just all in my head and I make it more complicated than it really is. That sounds more like the truth of it. So… I figured why not try and test my limits even more by baking vegan biscuits and making a vegetarian country style sausage gravy to pair?

Vegan Avocado Brownies — The Skinny Fork by Gordon Ramsay

It’s been a few days worth of sweets around my house. I guess we can all blame that on being cooped up with a long weekend of cooler weather here in Texas. Then again, I think the most of the country is in the same situation. And just like the other day? Cold days mean it’s time to get your bake on!

My daughter is a chocolate fiend. A real chocoholic. And brownies? They’re one of her favorites! I mean… who doesn’t like brownies? Especially when they’re still warm and fresh out of the oven? Brownies are not without their faults though. They are usually loaded with fat and sugar. No thank you.
