Homemade Fajita Seasoning

Homemade fajita seasoning is mind-numbingly easy to make & most of the ingredients are things you’ll probably have in your spice cupboard. With none of the added crap. 

Homemade Fajita Seasoning

Do you consider yourself a reader of food labels? I like to read anything & everything. I don’t use a lot of mixes but I happened to read the packet of fajita seasoning when I was buying some for my hubby to make nachos. The first ingredient listed was wheat. Then sugar. Spices. And various ingredients I didn’t think sounded very appetizing. So I put the seasoning back on the shelf, came home & made my own. Why not right?! It took longer to take the assorted spices & dried herbs from my pantry than it did to measure & mix. 

Homemade Fajita Seasoning

There’s certainly many recipes online for fajita seasoning. And now there’s another one. I’ve not tried anyone else’s but I do like mine. And the only ingredient I had to buy to make this was dried parsley. I don’t think it’d be missed as dried parsley certainly isn’t a flavor powerhouse. If you don’t have it, don’t worry, just leave it out. 

Homemade Fajita Seasoning

I added smoked paprika to my mix. It’s a wonderful spice. Adding, strangely enough, a subtle smoked flavor. Sarcasm. 

Homemade Fajita Seasoning

In our house we use fajita mix to make nachos, a recipe I’ll be sharing tomorrow, but this works wonderfully as a marinade, a spice rub, fajitas (naturally) & *gasp* – tacos. Until next time, Lovoni xo

And then there was none. My sis & I lost our fathe And then there was none. My sis & I lost our father, my niece her Pa, quite suddenly on August 1st. Almost four months after the death of our mum John decided it was time to join her. The heartache feels unbearable. John was a true gourmand - a fierce cook. He introduced us to spicy Indian curries, Southeast Asian cuisines, the tastes of Morocco, Chinese delicacies, Greek food & so many other cuisines opening up a world filled with flavour to our young palates. 
Keeper of secrets; fiercely loyal to his family & those he held dear & the most trustworthy person you’d ever meet. I know he’s somewhere better, free from pain & he’s with mum. He’s enjoying a beer, an old red wine to wash down the curry. Then a bowl of ice cream - a big bowl because why not. He’ll smile his wide grin & his bright blue eyes will light up. He could be a grumpy bugger at times but we even loved that side of him. Every time I pick up a knife to start another recipe John, you’ll be there with me. Thank you for marrying our mum & choosing us as your daughters. I hope you know how much you were loved & what a huge impact you had on our lives. You’ll be missed more than you could imagine xo.

Broccoli Bacon Salad: easy AF to make & loaded wit Broccoli Bacon Salad: easy AF to make & loaded with all the right flavours & texture combos, regardless of the time of year, you’ll want to make this salad over & over. You’re going to have to trust me on this one. It’s very good. Lots of nuts & seeds, crispy bacon & dried cranberries tossed in the most delicious sweet mustard vinaigrette. I’m not a leftovers fan but this is even good the next day. Head to freshhunger.com for the recipe. L xo

Each day the veggie garden gives forth its bounty. Each day the veggie garden gives forth its bounty. Today was a quick harvest. I need to hurry up & shake this Covid beast so I can throw myself back into some enjoyable cooking again. 
My horrible trip to France was cut short - thank god but left me with Covid. The fucking cherry on top of what was a low point on my radar. I can hardly believe it happened but one dusts off, moves on & let’s those who like to bring others down fall by the wayside. 
Onwards & upwards. Here’s to a busy rest of the month filled with work I’m passionate about. And a garden that’s flourishing. Gorgeous board from @figsandfetaau

Heading back to My homeland today for mum’s fune Heading back to My homeland today for mum’s funeral. Sadly mum passed away on Wednesday & the world suddenly became less joyful, less stylish & definitely less clean & tidy. Gardens are now less pretty & food not as tasty for mum was both a fabulous cook & had the most beautiful garden. Most of you who might take the time to read this never had the honour of meeting my mum but if you had met her, she would be your friend & confidant for life. She played both mum & dad to my sis & I after our father left but we never seemed to want for anything. She was a shining star who always encouraged me to follow my dreams, even when it meant me moving halfway around the world. That just made us closer. She will be missed by those who love her ♥️
Here are some random pics: the first is mum & I in a tiny church in Drummheller, Alberta, Canada. There is one of mum in her bikini drinking a scotch at Palm Beach in Sydney (snarky me on the left in that pic). The last one is mum as a bridesmaid holding my sister. There’s one with my niece when she was little. I love the one where mum has decorated herself in daisy chains. Good memories.
