Homemade Chili Seasoning

Making your own homemade chili seasoning could not be any easier. Plus, it uses ingredients you may already have in your pantry. 

I'm not going to lie. I usually just use a package of chili seasoning every time I make a pot of chili. But I found myself without one smack dab in the middle of making a pot. What is a girl to do? 

So I headed to my spice cabinet and made my own. Why did I not do this sooner? All the ingredients are spices that I keep on hand anyway so why was I buying a package of seasoning? 

It is a simple as measuring out the spices, dumping them into a mason jar. Stir or shake it up and boom. Make sure you mix up a batch to have on hand for your next pot of chili.  

Here are a few more homemade mixes that have become favorites in my kitchen. 

BBQ Spice Rub - Perfect for beef, pork, or chicken on the grill, stovetop, or oven. 

Homemade Taco Seasoning - For all your Taco Tuesday recipes. 

Apple Pie Spice Mix - for all your fall baking. 

Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix - for drinks, baking, and all the fall things. 

Homemade Ranch Seasoning - For all those recipes that call for a packet of ranch seasoning.

Easy Valentine's Day Cupid Chow

Muddy Buddies are such an easy snack recipe to make for any holiday or occasion. The kids absolutely go nuts over it. 

My husband and I don't go big for Valentine's Day. We just never really have. But we do make sure our kids get a little something special just to know how much we love them even though we show that love all year. 

This Easy Valentine's Day Cupid Chow is one of those recipes that they just love to snack on. It is a highly addictive snack mix that is super fun and festive for Valentine's Day. 

You really can't get much easier than this recipe. It starts off with chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Combine the chocolate chips and peanut butter together in a microwavable bowl.

Microwave the chocolate chips and peanut butter for a minute. Stir until all melty and creamy. 

Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter over the cereal until combined. Honestly this is good just like this but we take it just a step further. 

Sprinkle powdered sugar and combine all the chocolate covered cereal with the powdered sugar.  Add in your festive candies and sprinkles and let the fun begin. 

This Valentine's Day Cupid Chow is so delicious, you won't be able to stop eating it. Make this addictive snack for your loved ones and watch all the smiles. 

Sweethearts Bark is another fun and festive Valentine's Day treat that comes together quickly at the last minute. And of course Cherry Chocolate Cake, Brownie Sundae Pie, and Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies are great desserts to show the one you love how special they are. Because the way to their heart is through their stomach. So why not make it a dessert.
