Eco-Saturday: Ditch the packets

Homemade seasoning mixes make nice gifts, too.

If you’re still buying individual packets of prefabbed seasoning mix for chili, tacos and dip, stop it immediately. You’re putting a lot of unnecessary trash into the landfill and a lot of unnecessary sodium into your body. Grab your blender blades and a couple of Mason jars and get ready to raid the spice cabinet, because I’ve got two quick, easy recipes that will save a few dollars and a few packets. Bonus: They’re completely vegan. Details below the fold.
