We go through a lot of taco seasoning around here. Of course, we use it for traditional tacos. But we also use it in other meals, like Texas Stew, for a little more punch than the original recipe calls for. Instead of buying envelop after envelop of taco seasoning, we found the following recipe to be a very close replacement. Not only is it less expensive, but it allows for the DW and I to adjust the heat in our taco meat based on who we’re cooking for.

After receiving a tip from a family friend, my wife and I ventured down a dusty road for the first time together in search of a house that was for sale by owner. The potential was there: wood floors buried beneath dated carpet, solid wood pocket doors surrounded by 100 year old trim, and a faded screen door leading to a covered porch complete with a white wooden swing. So, in July of 2011 my wife and I became only the third family to own this 100+ year old two-story farm house and surrounding acreage on a quiet dusty road in rural Iowa. What you’ll find on these pages is the story of what comes next.
