Taste and Create was started as a food event by Nicole from For the Love of Food. The whole purpose of Taste and Create was, and has been, and continues to be to create a community of bloggers who test each others’ recipes and share links. The participants of the event are paired together and try a new recipe from one another’s blog.
This month I was paired with Jennifer from FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS. I love being paired with someone I’ve never been paired with before I inevitably learn sooooooo much, and find great new recipes. I chose her TACO SEASONING recipe. I chose it because I too am always looking for the perfect homemade seasonings.Â
She’s right it works great for chicken, beef, pork–whatever you are trying to spice up for Mexican night! Â
I’m ditching my old go to recipe and using this from now on!
