One way we like to celebrate is by having Breakfast for Dinner… what ways do you like to celebrate Backwards Day?
Garden update, Greenhouse progress, and a Polar Vortex
This past week has been colder than usual here with winter weather advisories, freeze warnings, and even snow in some areas of Florida… we didn’t get any snow but 10 minutes north of us had some flurries. A bit west of us got almost 10 inches of snow! I wasn’t really upset that we didn’t get any snow but the kids were a little disappointed.

Garden Updates, Greenhouse, Flower Planting, and a Pantry Challenge
Hey everyone!
How is your new year going so far? We’ve been busy as usual and trying to get as much done as we can before the summer comes… although these lower-than-normal temperatures have been making that a little difficult.

Homemade Taco Seasoning Mix
We love taco seasoning but we don’t love all those extra ingredients. Here is a version that we make that is just as good as the store-bought stuff. You can store it in a glass mason jar or even an old seasoning jar if you happen to have one lying around. I like to write the ingredients on a small index card or paper to tape to the jar so I don’t have to look for the recipe every time I need to refill my mix.
Don’t be afraid to tweak the recipe to your taste!
