Happy Friday! Guess what happened to me yesterday? Josh told someone at work that I was a Chef and that I would help cater the office Holiday Party in December! He didn't even give me the chance to say "NO". Is that how I get roped into these things? Not that I wouldn't love to do it, but again, one more thing on my plate.
I have my school orientation today, so I am looking forward to that. I am eager to start my class, which is next Wednesday.
Last night I made tacos and cornbread for the family. I find that after cooking the beef and adding the seasonings, putting it in the crock pot on low for a couple of hours makes the flavor of the meet so much better! Add a little water to the crock pot and meat. For the Taco seasoning, I used:
http://www.5dollardinners.com/homemade-taco-seasoning Which is one part Chili powder, one part ground Cumin, one part Garlic powder and one part Onion power. It calls for 1/4 ts of red pepper flake that I did not add. So I started with 1 TableSpoon of each and mixed it together. Then decided to fill up a baggie, I used 5 Table spoons of each, omitting the Red pepper flakes. Also, you control the salt when you do it this way instead of the taco seasoning packets.
Also the corn bread recipe I used was:

I LOVE this Blog! She has some great stuff on there!
But I used a Gluten Free flour instead
Next time I make this Corn Bread recipe, I will double it and add a can of creamed corn to it, it was good the way I made it yesterday following the recipe except changing out the flour, but I like my cornbread a little more moist and bits of corn in it.
Tonight, if we don't go out to dinner, I will make Calzones with my Gluten Free flour mix, which I got at a Bulk Barn store. I will post that recipe over the weekend.
Enjoy your Friday!
Take care and live, love and eat well!,
Alyssa
