I do my ranch mix too and will never go back again. I usually put all the ingredients, except the powdered buttermilk, in a spice grinder to reduce all the spices and herbs to a fine powder. That way it blends better with the butter milk and stays mixed. Other wise the herbs seems to always split and you always have to mix the mixture.

[@tacos_are_life]

I would be interested in the sausage seasoning mix if you are willing to share. 😊

[@wendypursel3142]

​@@ingerhaugland6763 I do it mostly by feel so amounts are guesstaments. 1 cup of whole and mashed fennel seeds. 1 cup total I just pound them in a bag and what happens happens but I try to get it evenish. 1/2 to 2/3 cup ground fennel seeds. I use a coffee mill or a blender to make powder of them. 1 Tablespoon of sugar, I use demerara sugar but regular is fine. 1/2 cup onion powder, 1/2 to 1 cup garlic powder, 1/2 cup salt, I use pink himalayan but to each their own, 1/4 to 1/2 cup pepper corns milled in coffee mill or blender, I use this method because it makes the pepper more potent.So start low go high, This makes it sweet. To give it some (read very little, in my opinion, heat) add 1 Tablespoon of hot pepper flakes or ground cayenne pepper. This to me is sweet. I use more for some folks but again how much heat you want is up to you.I add more for hot but some people are anti-heat in their sausage. I used up to 1/4 cup of hot pepper flakes, my personal limit. I vary the amounts because I just eyeball the measurements I just used the above to make more about a week ago.Feel free to adjust any of the ingredients. I mix this all in a quart canning jar but any jar with a tight lid will do. Can use plastic but you won't want to use it for anything else because the smell will infuse the plastic. I use 3 Tablespoons per pound of meat or ground mushrooms but I like alot of flavor so I would add 1 Tablespoon mix it in and smell how the flavor seams, Good Luck and enjoy!

I have to hold my breath going into the grocery store, every x-mas, because of the pinecones (and other products) that they stick just about everywhere! That stuff gets on other items that I end up touching and then I have to hurry up and use a wipe on my hands. Pre-pandemic, I got some mighty strange looks. Some people even asked me if I was OCD.

[@katshomekorner9194]

Freeze dryers are expensive…having said that, we bought one last year. That puppy has been freeze drying since we bought it! Having said that…freeze drying garlic, onions, or any “onion type” herb or veg is not a great idea. It will flavor every other thing you freeze dry for 4 or 5 cycles going forward. Freeze dried veg is lovely, broccoli, cauliflower, crookneck squash, sweet potatoes, EGGS! All these things are lovely in the freeze dryer. Candies like Skittles, taffy, candy bars, ice cream sandwiches, peeps, these are fun. We tried them once, but prefer freeze drying meats, eggs, casseroles, and things we would only need to rehydrate to eat.

I started making my own Taco seasoning this past year from a recipe online. It doesn't have cinnamon and only made enough for 1 batch of Tacos. I made a bulk batch so I wouldn't have to pull all the spices out each time. I store mine in an airtight Tupperware container. So easy and so good.

[@davidh.4649]

I make my own chili powder precisely because the stuff you buy commercially is usually salted. I prefer it unsalted so I can control the amount of salt. I got tired of trying to make a pot of chili and having it get so salty in order to get enough chili flavor. So I've been making my own for years. So I'd be using that in my taco seasoning. Now, I don't know that I'd care for as much smoke flavor as all that smoked paprika is going to bring. I would probably use good Hungarian sweet paprika in mine. Then, if I wanted to add just a hint of background smoke I'd put a little chipotle powder in. That's basically smoked jalapenos that have been ground up to a powder. A little of that will add the hint of smoke and also just a touch of heat as well. Good recipes!

[@gregorythompson8873]

for your chili powder ...try using Ancho or Guajillo powder or a blend of each, better flavors

I use taco seasoning so much, I'm so glad for this! Also, I don't know what you do to preserve tomatoes, but if you do peel them & usually just compost those peels- try to dry them instead. It's supposed to be filled with really good tomato flavour!

Chives in a dehydrator tend to turn brown. Must use a lower temp, nothing above 115F. My best results come from lining a half sheet pan with a linen tea towel and laying my chopped chives on top. In a sunny window they dry in about 1 day.

[@katsgardenkitchenandmore9050]

I've been doing it for the last 3 years and mine have never turned brown so maybe it just depends on how long you have yours in for, however if you dehydrate them in the oven they tend to turn a little bit tiny bit brown but if you dehydrate them in a dehydrator I've never had them turn brown at all.

[@TsukinekoHeika]

I make my own 'Mediterranean' green bleed. Oregano, parsley, thyme, peppermint (I use tea), basil. I omit rosemary and sage because I hate grinding rosemary and I'm allergic to sage. It's best to soak it in olive oil and then slather it on some chicken. I love to put it under the skin because it gets the skin thoroughly crispy without drying it out. I don't use pepper as I'm allergic to black and white pepper, too, -.-'. I use the Pioneer taco packets, I admit that it's just for the convenience. However, I dump it out of the packet and spoon it up as I want it. I don't need to use four TBS of the stuff if I'm cooking for 1 person! It cuts the sodium by a lot. I used to have a lot of bulk spices but then I had an illness and I parted with all my 'reds'. Probably around 50-60$ worth of spices that I gave away. Le Sigh. But, I'm better now, so I might try making my own mix. I certainly love my taco meat (I just eat that by itself as a snack).

[@sandrafishman6588]

Once I had to go to a salt free diet I learned how to make a lot of salt-free seasonings.

I literally just bought a Harvest Right Freeze Dryer and am waiting on it to get delivered. I watch 3 other homesteaders who have bought them and love them. It is a really big investment but from what I have read and seen on KZbin it is definitely going to be worth it. Freeze Drying supposedly saves like 97% versus dehydrating that supposedly only saves 60% of your foods nutrients. I do believe there will be a time and place for both. Because it is a huge investment it took a lot of saving and research for me to finally pull the trigger.

I had tried it first in the food dehydreter.. thats a no go. Chives in, straw out. I do make my own spice rubs for meat, pumkin spice, pie spice, plummus spice, taco spice. Ether I dont get the finish spice in germany or they just are very costly. I get my spices at our farmers market or internet. Thats not as pricy and I get whole spices and grind them when I need them. Take care and stay safe 🙂🌻

I've made both of these. Ranch seasoning is a hit. I wasn't a big fan of the cinnamon in the taco seasoning but my family didn't even notice it. I think I might leave it out next time but overall great recipes. Thank you!

[@Theaterverslaafde]

Oeh, don't, you'll miss it if you leave it out. It isn't sweet, it's just that we are used to it that way. In other quisines it's just considdered a mellow warming aromatic spice.

I finely chop chives and dehydrate!!

[@gardenhoe1000]

Just found your channel. Thank you. You give us hope for the future. Blessings!!!

[@AcreHomestead]

Oh I’m glad you are here! Thank you!

[@littlecupcakespuppies]

Yes! Get a freeze dryer and make videos with it!

[@flamelily1]

Pam over at Rose Red Homestead recently bought a freeze dryer, and has done multiple videos reviewing and using it. She has a fantastic approach, and talks about the nutritional differences between canning, dehydrating and freeze drying in many of her videos. She has a fantastic approach, and really gets into the nitty gritty of it all.

I would love it if you showed us homemade cajun, and any rubs or meat seasoning combos. Thank you so much! I am new and thoroughly enjoying your channel!

[@hollycaffeinatednerdgirl940]

Save and dehydrate your tomato skins when you are canning, pulverize in your blender and add 1/4 c of the powder to your taco seasoning mix!! Total game changer in flavor ! I also add it to other it to other dishes for a pinch of flavor!

[@kmundwiller3936]

Omg...this would be so safe for my allergy kid. I dont know why I didnt think of this lol great recipes!

[@jennyscott8014]

I love the idea of gifting your homemade goodies.

[@robynm7221]

Perfect timing on showing how you make your homemade dried seasoning mixes. Awesome powdered seasoning recipes! I've been wanting to make my own powdered ranch dressing because I don't want any natural flavors/flavorings or things I can't even pronounce in my food items. There are way too many preservatives in foods today & I try to avoid them whenever possible. I'd love some powdered seasoning mix ideas for steak, chicken, and 🐟 fish 🤭 & Italian dressing, not the sweet kind though. I love these cute emojis❣ Thank you Becky for all your hard work & your energy🐇🐰! You have an awesome family that are very supportive of your endeavors. You are so very blessed 🙌 deservedly so 💖 😁💞❣ Maranatha ❤ 🐑 🩸 🩸🩸✝️ 🤍 🕊 🙌 🙋‍♀️

Great recipes. I’ve actually made an “Acre Homestead “ file with your videos. I can’t wait until my garden starts producing regularly. I’m hitting your recipes like a freight train.😁 Every time I see one of your videos I get so excited, it has become my morning ritual. Coffee and Becky time.😊 For me it’s a wonderful way to start my day. Tfs sweetie. Have a wonderful day.🤗

[@deanacamacho5310]

Hi Becky, I also make my own taco seasoning. May I recommend purchasing dried ancho chili's & grinding it up then adding to your seasoning. Super yummy & smokey
