Broccamole

I have officially joined Weight Watchers, and of course the day before Super Bowl.  I was looking for "healthy" dips for the game, and it was sure hard.  I saw something for broccamole, and I thought that I would give it a try. I LOVE guacamole so I really was not getting my hopes up, because I did not think anything could be as tasty.  I was surprisingly wrong, this was delicious and so much better than guacamole.  I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a healthy dip.

Home-made Taco Seasoning

This may sounds like a very easy recipe, but I never knew how easy it was to make your own taco seasoning.  I have tried many different mixtures of spices, and this is definitely the best tasting.  This is 1000 times better for you than using the packaged seasoning, and cheaper.  This cuts out all the preservatives, and really can't beat the taste.

Serving size: This particular recipe is for 1.5 pound of ground beef/ ground turkey
Prep time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1/2 tablespoon of garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon of onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon of paprika
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin

Directions

1. When your taco meat is done browning remove from heat, and add 1/4 cup of water. (I do not like my tacos with any sauce, so if you want more liquid you can add)
2. Add the above ingredients, and mix well
3. Enjoy!
