some of my favorite cookbooks
need some recipes?
I'm on a quest to cook healthier for my family which hopefully means that the recipes posted here keep getting healthier. I started out posting our old favorite recipes and now I'm sharing my new tried and true healthy recipes with you. I started this blog as a way to record our recipes for our children which I'll make into a book using Blurb. In the future we hope to make our recipes available to you in printed form.
who am I?
I'm a pastor's wife and homeschooling mom in my 30s. Serving my husband, managing my home, and caring for my family are my focus and joy. I love the color red, all things vintage, gardening, camping, books, and cooking of course. I collect old furniture, snack plates from the 50s, tea pots, tea cups, and I think a cake pedestal is a must in every home.
Have a healthy recipe for me to try? email me
and if I try it I'll give you credit.

why cook?
"The person who decides what shall be the food and drink of a family, and the modes of it's preparation, is the one who decides, to a greater or less extent, what shall be the health of that family. It is the opinion of most medical men, that intemperance in eating is one of the most fruitful of all causes of disease and death."

This isn't really a recipe, but what I use is one whole diced onion when cooking the meat. Then sprinkle in salt, cumin and chili powder while meat is cooking. Drain meet before serving.
This one comes from Healthy Foods by Leanne Ely. It is pretty similar to the one that you posted a couple of days ago. It makes enough for several meals:
1/3 cup chili powder
1/4 cup cumin
4 tsp. crushed red pepper
1 Tbsp. oregano
1/3 cup garlic powder
1 Tbsp. onion powder
I found this recipe online and have modified it for our taste. The original called for more cayenne, but I did not want it too spicy for my son.
1 Tbsp flour
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp dried minced onion
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp granulated garlic
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
Combine all ingredients. Add to 1 lb or so meat with 3/4 cups water. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Add salt to taste.
I can't have onions so I have to make my own taco seasoning.
I adapted this recipe from a recipe from the book "Miserly Meals". I deleted the onions and changed several other amounts to suit our tastes. I put it in a large empty spice container I bought at Winco and it lasts a good while (the recipe says you can store it for 6 months).
Mexican Seasoning Mix
1/4 c. flour
2 T. chili powder
3 tsp. garlic powder
4 tsp. salt
3 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
2 tsp. sugar
2 tsp. cumin
I just scoop these all into my spice container then shake to mix well.
3 Tablespoons of this mix equals one purchased packet of taco or chili seasoning mix.
