Have any of you ever taken a peek at the ingredient list on those pre-made spice mixtures you see at the grocery store?
If not, do this next time you are there. More times than not, these pre-made mixtures include hydrogenated oils and plenty of unnecessary sugars.
I find it kind of unbelievable and rather annoying because it’s like we really can’t assume anything when it comes to food these days. It seems ‘dirty’ ingredients can find a way to sneak into the most unexpected places.
But don’t let it discourage you. Eating clean is like anything in life; a journey, not a destination.
We learn, apply, discover, apply, take two steps back, move forward, eat a donut, move on, etc.
As long as we stay committed to the journey and moving in the direction of, then technically, we have arrived.
So the next time you are thinking to make some tacos or some taco dip, (recipe coming friday) take an extra 5-minutes and make it from scratch. Not only will avoid the unwanted ingredients, but it will taste better because YOU made it.

I can’t wait for the Taco Dip! I will be making it for sure for the Super Bowl. I agree with the addition of cocoa powder and admit I was hesitant at first to try it in the Mole dish I ordered at a restruarant. I was immediately convinced of the value. I have my taco seasoning prepared (using an empty spice jar and a chop stick to stir it). I love your videos. You are so down to earth and I always smile at the end with the outtakes…keeping it real!

You are my Go To Girl whenever I am trying to learn new things about clean eating. Your videos are fantastic! How much of your taco seasoning do you recommend per pound of ground turkey?
Dani
Thank you, Lyn!! I would use 2 tbsp of taco seasoning per pound of turkey, but feel free to make adjustments as needed 😉
