Who else loves a good taco night like me? I mean really I could have tacos every freaken day of the week, it's ridiculous! LOL
Who else uses those high sodium taco seasoning packs?! Just me? I doubt it but I know they are super convenient! But oh my gosh those suckers are filled with so much sodium & yes even the "low sodium" packs STILL have a lot of sodium in them!
I finally said ENOUGH is ENOUGH & I made my own taco seasoning! :Emoji Shock Face: I had been saying it for weeks, shot even months that I was going to give it a try but always seem to convince myself that the seasoning packs from the store were more convenient. But their really not! It took me no time to mix my seasonings together & believe it or not guys, it tasted SOOO much better then the store bought packs! NO LIE! And I know exactly what's going into it!
If you guys love a good but healthy taco night like my family & I do or even if you eat tacos once a week, your body could benefit from trying your very own homemade taco seasoning! You don't need a lot of seasonings either & I actually had a lot of the seasonings already in my Lazy Susan!
So here's what I used: black pepper, kosher salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, & chili powder! You can also throw in some red pepper flakes for an added spice! I added about a tablespoon of the ground cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, kosher salt, & black pepper, then I did 1/2 cup of chili powder & 1/4 cup of onion powder. But you can really add as much or less as you see fit by doing the taste test! :) Another good idea is making enough for more then one meal & putting it in a jar so you have quick & easy access to it, especially if you make tacos as much as we do HAHA! So if you're looking to have a taco night soon you should definitely give this homemade taco seasoning a try, you'll never go back to the old thing!!
In my very lean ground beef I also added tomatoes, onions, & beans! I love getting fancy with my taco meat, LOL! If you guys give it a try, I would love to know how your meals turn out!! Share Below! :)

Join Our Team!
Becoming a Beachbody Coach
Becoming a Beachbody coach has been one of the best things that could of ever happen to my husband & I! Beachbody has taught us so much about ourselves and has helped us grow as individuals & in our marriage! The fact that we can do this together makes it that much more special! But you want to know the main reason I love Beachbody & all that it stands for? It’s the team around me! I would not be anything if it wasn’t for the team my husband & I have built. A Fit Family is more than just a team though, we are exactly what our name stands for, a FAMILY! A Fit Family is a group of motivated individuals who all have the same goal, helping others while building a business! We are encouragers, we encourage others each and every day to achieve their own health & fitness goals, or business goals if that’s what their hearts desire! Together we work as a team to help one another succeed, no one is left behind to struggle or figure things out on their own. We all help one another to be the best that we can be, because without each other none of us would be successful!
Can You Be a Beachbody Coach?
ABSOLUTELY!! Many times people think that have to already have a “Beachbody” to be a Beachbody Coach! Well I’m here to tell you, that is absolutely not true!! Majority of my team did not start off with a Beachbody because that’s not realistic! We are all on the same journey when it comes to our health & fitness & we’re doing it TOGETHER! We are all working together to achieve that Beachbody that we all desire to have! We are not perfect because that isn’t realistic! We are human, we all have the same struggles, & we are all motivating each other to be the best we can be!
Another common misconception is that in order to build a successful Beachbody business, you have to be a business WIZ! Well that’s not true either!! You don’t have to know a thing about business to make this a successful business! The beauty of this being YOUR business, is that you learn as you go! You learn what works best for you & your business! And not to mention all of the tools you need to succeed have already been created for you, everything has already been mapped out for your success! We have a ton of team training's, documents, one on one calls & training's, so that you don’t have to be a KNOW IT ALL when it comes to business ANYTHING! We have some amazing top coaches that are extremely successful and have already figured what works & what doesn’t! And GUESS WHAT?! They pass it down to you!! J I will provide you with absolutely everything you need to make this a successful business!
Is Beachbody a Get Rich Quick Scheme/Pyramid Scheme????
ABSOLUTELY NOT!! And no one will tell you otherwise!! Do you know what a Get Rich Quick Scheme is? It's basically a shady business that is not set up to last! You may get rich quick but will you STAY rich? Do you know what a pyramid scheme is? Well for one, it is ILLEGAL! It's basically an illegal set up where you make money for simply recruiting others without selling a product & in the long run get screwed while the person at the top makes all the money & the person at the bottom is still BROKE! Beachbody is the complete opposite! Beachbody would not be as successful as it is without the success of their coaches so they have designed a way for every person to be able to make it to the top, not just one person! Every coach is given the same exact opportunity as the other, which is why Beachbody is such a successful company! If you want success in this business, then you have to put in the work! PLAIN & SIMPLE! There’s no sugarcoating it! Building a successful business will take a lot of hard work, determination, and perseverance but if you’re in it to win it, then you have what it takes to make this business a success!
Have you ever felt like you were meant for something greater?
That you were meant for more then to just pay bills & die? That you were meant for more than just working your butt off while the people at the top made all the real money? US TOO!! My husband & I have always felt that we were meant to do something amazing with our lives, but wasn’t really sure what that amazing thing was! It has been a blessing to have found Beachbody at just the right time in our lives! We have so much more freedom then we ever had or knew was even possible, not just financial freedom, but freedom from a boss, a job that ties us down for hours a day! We are able to spend more time together as family while working in the comfort of our own home, TOGETHER! We are able to travel more & go on vacations that were always on our bucket list but honestly were never attainable! We can set our family up for success so that our kids have all the opportunities their hearts desire! And the craziest thing is, we can do ALL of this while being able to help others do it too!!
I Want To Hear From You!
What could you do with an extra $500 a week? How much would an extra $2000 a month help you and your family? If you KNOW that you were meant for something greater, that you want to create financial freedom, independence, be your own boss, work when you want from wherever you want, & do EXACTLY what you LOVE but put in the work to get there at the same time! I’m here to tell you, that all those things are POSSIBLE for you! If you’re reading this & feel like all these thing could be you, I want to hear from you!!

Nursing at 21 Months
Oh my goodness! So last night's sleep was a little rough guys! Railynn is 21 month & is still nursing. Last night she woke up several times to nurse or comfort nurse I'm sure you could really call it! I love breastfeeding and the bond it has created between Railynn and myself but I am getting a little exhausted to be honest! I know all the added benefits of "extended nursing" as well as the benefits in letting her "self wean" but when will she self wean?! LOL Just curious on how long other moms have been nursing their babies & how did you get your little ones off the booby?? We've been going strong for 21 months, no formula, but this mumma is pretty tired & exhausted!! Send me your tips friends!!

Spicy White Bean Sausage & Spinach Soup!
Oh My Gosh Guys! This is one of my ALL TIME favorite crock pot recipes! Especially on a cold winter day & I mean anything made in the crock pot is usually a WIN, right?! This is definitely a must try & can be made without the spicy sausage so that it is kid friendly! I know dinner is 20 times easier when the kids can enjoy it too!!
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 8 hours, 5 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 package of your favorite sausage (I used the spicy sausage)
- 3 cloves of minced garlic
- 1 onion
- 2 carrots
- 1 celery stalk
- 2 cans of Great Northern beans, drained & rinsed
- 4 cups of chicken broth
- Kosher salt & ground black pepper, to taste
- 3 cups of baby spinach
Directions
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add your sausage & cook, stirring frequently until the sausage is browned, for about 3 to 4 minutes. Place your sausage, garlic, onion, carrots, celery, beans, in your crock pot. Stir in chicken broth & 2 cups of water & season with salt & paper to your taste! Cover & cook on low heat for 7 to 8 hours or high heat for 3 to 4 hours. Stir in spinach last until it's wilted.
I served my soup on top of a bed of brown rice which made it even more filling! This is a great, hearty soup that taste even better the next day for lunch or dinner! And to make it just a little bit better, it's clean & can fit into many meal plans!
ENJOY!!
