  • Mexican Magic Seasoning Blend

    Mexican Magic Seasoning Blend

    Mexican Magic Seasoning Blend

    When I was in high school, my family still managed to eat dinner together most nights. It was my sister, my parents, and me. I loved our family dinners. One of my favorite family dinners was when my dad made nachos. He would make one huge platter of nachos. We would spread a tablecloth out on the floor, and we would all sit around the platter and eat together. It was sort of a nacho picnic in the living room. Best family dinner EVER!

    A million years later, I still love nachos for dinner. Early on in our relationship, I introduced my husband to “Kinerk Nachos”, and he absolutely loves it too. Making one big platter of nachos isn’t in the cards for us anymore as I am a vegetarian, and my husband is not. I absolutely love cheese and completely smother my nachos with pepper jack, but my husband is definitely not a cheese lover so typically puts just a couple shreds of cheese on his. That, however, is one of the great things about nachos for dinner. It can be completely customized to the eater. When we have friends and family over for nacho night, I set it up sort of buffet style. Everyone gets an oven-safe dish and fills it with tortilla chips, chili, and cheese. We then pop this in the oven set on Broil until the cheese is all nice and melty. Then you get to put whatever toppings you want on your nachos. This can be salsa, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole, green onions, or anything else you love on nachos. 

    To make this a quick and easy dinner, I always have my own special Mexican Seasoning Blend on hand. That way I’m not searching for a bunch of different spices and trying to get the ratios right. I have perfected my blend over the years so it’s exactly how my husband and I like it. The beauty of making your own blends is that they can be just exactly what you like.

    Mortar and pestle with herbs and spices

    While this Mexican seasoning blend is perfect for nachos, it can also be used in and on a million other things. I love it for tacos, fajitas, and quesadillas. It works great with mushrooms, beef, chicken, pork, and shrimp (we aren’t fish eaters, so I’ve never tried it that way) (probably delicious though). I love it ground up really fine and sprinkled on popcorn. I also mix sour cream and salsa together with this blend to make a fabulous chip and veggie dip. The possibilities really are endless so you better blend some up today!

     Here’s my recipe for Traci’s Mexican Magic. Please feel free to tweak it to suit your specific taste. And don’t forget to write down your recipe for your customized Mexican seasoning blend so you can remember what you put in it. I can’t tell you how many times I made something awesome and then could never recreate it. So frustrating!! You can purchase all of the herbs you need for this recipe in my online herb shop here.

  • Nettle

    Botanical Name – Urtica dioica

    Family: Urticaceae

    Energetics: cool, dry, tonifying

    Taste: earthy, salty, umami

    Parts used: leaves, roots, seeds

    Affinities: kidneys and adrenals

    Actions: diuretic, nutritive, alterative, adaptogen (seeds)

    Preparations: tea, tincture, food

    Cautions: Generally regarded as safe for all ages. Be aware it is a very drying herb. Consult a clinical herbalist before taking medicinal doses of nettle. Normal tea amounts or cooking with nettle is very safe.

    Therapeutic Uses:

    • Nettle is a very nutritive herb and is a great addition to most meals as it will boost the overall nutrition value. Drinking a long infusion tea is also excellent but be aware of its extreme drying nature. 
    • As a diuretic, nettle will help flush out waste in the body, especially the kidneys. Due to its high nutritional content, however, it will add more vitamins and minerals than it removes unlike most prescription diuretics.
    • Very high in iron, nettle is helpful with anemia, fatigue, weakness, dizziness, and other iron deficiency symptoms.
    • In BPH, nettle helps empty the bladder more fully thus decreasing the feeling of having to pee constantly. It helps relieve those feelings of having to go to the bathroom about a million times throughout the night as well.
    • Nettle leaf tea can help alleviate seasonal allergy symptoms.

Because it is warming, it will also help warm up cold hands and feet. This makes it a great herb for a winter foot soak when you’ve been out shoveling snow.
    • Because it is an upward moving herb, it will help bring blood flow to the head helping with headaches, but also with memory and concentration. It can also help stimulate hair growth and makes a great hair oil.

  • Herbal Bug Spray

    Herbal Bug Spray

    Mortar and pestle with fresh herbs

    There is much controversy over whether bug sprays are harmful or not. I’m not here to debate the issue or get into the specifics. I personally don’t use them because I don’t like putting weird chemicals on my skin and I don’t love the idea of “hey, this may or may not be safe”. I live in the United States in a fairly urban area and while mosquitoes may suck (literally) I thankfully don’t have to worry about getting malaria. So, for me, a natural, herbal bug spray is the way to go. I did use some pretty hardcore bug spray when I was in Africa, but this city girl wasn’t about to mess with scary, African mosquitoes. 

    The following is my recipe for an herbal bug spray. It’s super easy to make with ingredients that are completely safe for all ages and pretty easy to come by. You will need to reapply the spray fairly often, but I think it’s worth it. I like knowing exactly what I’m putting on my body, cuz if it’s on my body, it’s getting absorbed into my system and I’m not ok with just ingesting any old thing.

    This bug spray takes about 4 weeks to make so start it way before you're going to need it. Basically, you just put all the ingredients together and then leave it to do its thing so it's super easy.

    Prep Time 10 minutes
    Servings 4 oz

    Equipment

    • Fine Mesh Filter
    • Funnel optional
    • 4oz Spray Bottle
    • A canning jar or something with a tight-fitting lid

    Ingredients
      

    • .25 oz dried basil
    • .25 oz dried lavender
    • .25 oz dried lemon balm
    • .25 oz dried peppermint
    • .25 oz dried rosemary
    • 8 oz witch hazel You can also use apple cider vinegar but expect to smell like a salad.

    Instructions
     

    • Place the herbs in the jar.
    • Pour in the witch hazel.
    • Shake well.
    • Store the jar in a dark, cool room like a pantry or cabinet for about 4ish weeks. It's best to shake the jar every day at least once. Don't worry if you forget though. Just shake it whenever you think about it.
    • After your concoction has infused for about a month, pour the liquid through the fine mesh strainer. You can also use a coffee filter.
    • Using the funnel, pour the bug spray into your spray bottle and label carefully. None of the ingredients are poisonous, but witch hazel sure doesn't taste good.

  • Lemon Balm Lemonade

    Lemon Balm Lemonade

    Lemon Balm Lemonade

    Lemon balm lemonade is a tasty way to add some healing herbs to your life. It is super quick to make and is so delicious all on its own or add a splash of vodka to really get the party started!

    Why add herbs to lemonade, you might ask. Well, #1 it’s delicious and #2 lemon balm is a really helpful little herb. It is a cooling and relaxing herb. That means it will chill you out both physically and emotionally. Lemon balm or, Melissa officinalis, is diaphoretic which means it helps disperse heat from your core to your periphery so your body can let it go. Emotionally, lemon balm helps relieve stress and tension and just helps you feel a little sunnier. So, if you are feeling a little depressed, stressed, or overwhelmed, drink some lemon balm lemonade and everything will be all right!

    Here are your step-by-step instructions on making this delicious drink. 

    The first thing you need to do is make lemon balm tea. I like to make tea in a quart canning jar. I just put about an inch of dried herbs in the bottom of the jar then fill the jar with boiling water. I like to let my herbal teas steep for at least 10-15 minutes to extract a lot of the medicinal parts of the plant. The longer the herbs steep, the more medicinal the tea (or infusion if you want to get technical as there is technically no Camellia sinensis which is the botanical name for tea). 

    While the herbs are infusing in the water, I make the simple syrup. Simple syrup is, well, simple to make, thus the name. It is just a combination of sugar and water, but because of science, it’s better to dissolve the sugar in hot water. Sugar will also melt when you boil it without water which is how caramel is made, so I feel like boiling the sugar in the water gives it more of a caramel-y flavor. This may or may not be true, but I’m sticking to it. 

    You would usually make simple syrup with a 1:1 ratio or, 1 part sugar to 1 part water, but this can be tweaked depending on preference. If you want it sweeter and thicker, add more sugar. For this recipe, I use 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of sugar.  Boil the water and sugar for a few minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved and then allow the syrup to cool completely. You can also sweeten this lemonade with honey which is super delicious!

    Next, I juice the lemons. To do this, I find it best to roll the lemon on the countertop for a few seconds to loosen everything up. Really mash it down with your hand. This allows the juice to start releasing. Then I use a simple citrus juicer.

    Mashing the lemon

    Rolling the lemon to release juice.

    You will need about 3/4 of a cup of juice or the juice from 3 lemons. If you like your lemonade stronger or to have more tartness, add more juice.

    Once the juice and syrup are ready, it’s time to filter the lemon balm tea. Be super careful if the tea is still hot. Pour the tea through a fine mesh filter, sieve, coffee filter, or cheese cloth and allow to cool completely.

    Now that you have made and filtered your tea, made your simple syrup, and juiced your lemons, it’s time to put them all together. Mix everything together in a pitcher and refrigerate. This lemon balm lemonade will last a few days in the fridge. You can purchase all of the herbs you need for this recipe in my online herb shop here.

  • DIY Lavender Hydrosol

    DIY Lavender Hydrosol

    Lavender Hydrosol

    DIY Lavender hydrosol is such a great thing to have on hand and it’s pretty easy to make. You also probably already have the supplies you need to make it. You can purchase all of the herbs you need for this recipe in my online herb shop here.

    The first time I made lavender hydrosol, I was concerned that it would be hard, messy, and yield a sub-par product. How wrong I was on all counts. The hydrosol was a little cloudy (which you want) when it was done, but mostly it just looked like the distilled water that I had used to make it. I was pretty disappointed thinking that it hadn’t actually worked. So, like any good herbalist, I tasted it, and boy was I wrong! I had absolutely made hydrosol and it was kind of awesome! I feel like it took a minute or two for the smell to show up which probably isn’t even remotely true, but I swear I couldn’t smell it at first. Now I use my lavender hydrosol every day for my facial toner, and I absolutely love it!

    DIY Lavender hydrosol is great to have on-hand for:

    • Facial toner
    • A spray for sunburn relief
    • Linen spray (lavender is super relaxing and helps quiet the mind for sleep)
    • Wound care spray (it is antiseptic, helps with pain, and will help the wound heal faster)
    • Room spray
    • Bath additive
    So, let’s talk now about how to make it.

    First off, you will need a few supplies. 

    1. A stockpot or some type of fairly tall pot. You are going to boil the lavender in the pot, and you want the steam to rise up and condense on the lid and then fall back down into your collection bowl.
    2. A heat-safe bowl, a clean brick, or something to keep your collection bowl out of the water at the bottom of your pot. You will place this in the middle of your stockpot. It just keeps your collection bowl raised up a bit. 
    3. A collection bowl. I like to use a glass Pyrex measuring cup for this so I can then easily pour my hydrosol into the container I’m going to store it in. 

    Setup for making hydrosol

    Next you will need some ingredients.

    1. 1oz dried lavender
    2. 4 cups of distilled water

    Now to actually make the hydrosol.

    1. Place one heat-safe bowl inside your crockpot upside down to form a little platform. Then put another heat-safe bowl on top of that one only right-side-up. 
    2. Pour in your distilled water and your lavender. You don’t really need to stir it or anything.
    3. Place the lid for the stockpot on the pot, but upside down. You want the steam to rise from the simmering lavender, condense on the lid, roll down the lid to the center, and then drop into your collection bowl.
    4. Place it on the stove and turn the stove to a medium heat just until it starts to boil.
    5. Lower the temperature so that you just get a nice low simmer.
    6. Allow the lavender to simmer for 20-30 minutes. If you let it go for too much longer, your hydrosol will start to have a slightly bitter scent to it. Make sure to keep the lid on the whole time. If you have a clear, glass lid, you can actually watch the process.

    Bottle and storage

    1. Once your collection bowl has cooled, pour your hydrosol into a spray bottle. 
    2. Store in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.

    Print Recipe Pin Recipe
    Prep Time 5 minutes
    Cook Time 30 minutes

    Equipment

    • 1 Stockpot with lid or any large, tall pot with a lid
    • 2 Heat-safe bowls 1 for collecting the hydrosol and 1 for placing upside down in your stockpot.
    • 1 4oz Spray Bottle

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 oz dried lavender
    • 4 cups distilled water

    Instructions
     

    • Place 1 bowl upside down in your stockpot and place the other bowl right-side up on top of that one. This just keeps your collection bowl out of the water and herbs.
    • Pour in the distilled water and herbs.
    • Put the lid on your stockpot upside down. This allows the steam to rise, collect on the lid, roll down the lid, and drip into your collection bowl.
    • Simmer on low heat for about 20-30 minutes.
    • Allow your hydrosol to cool then store it in a cute jar or spray bottle. If you plan to use it sparingly, store it in the fridge. For everyday use, you can store it at room temperature for a couple of weeks.

  • Super Nutritious Herb Blend

    Super Nutritious Herb Blend

    Herbs in bowls with a mortar and pestle

    I absolutely love to cook, but sometimes I just need an easy, no fuss meal. I am a vegetarian and my husband is not, so I basically cook two meals every night. When it has been a really long day (week, month, year…), sometimes I just need dinner to be easy. That’s usually when we have roasted potatoes and veggies for dinner. I can just throw everything into one baking dish, season it up, and toss it in the oven and an hour-ish later, we have dinner. On these nights, I usually put a pork chop or chicken breast in a separate baking dish with some BBQ sauce for my husband.

    I had been doing this for many years before I started studying to become a clinical herbalist. During my studies, I learned the healing benefits of nettle and my mind was blown!  It has tons of vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, and antioxidants. It is very high in calcium, vitamin A, vitamin K, iron, and manganese. It even has a little protein! Adding this little herb into as much stuff as you can will up your nutrient intake by a lot and it really doesn’t have that much flavor on its own so you can throw it into just about everything. This is how my Super Nutritious Herb Blend came to be. You can find more about this herb’s benefits here.

    In this basic nutritious herb blend, the only other ingredients are salt and pepper, but you can add whatever strikes your fancy. I typically use fresh garlic when I’m cooking, but you could certainly add garlic powder to this blend. Other fun additions are substituting smoked sea salt for plain salt. This will significantly change the flavor, but it will certainly be yummy. For my roasted potatoes and veggies, I love to add rosemary to this blend as well. Rosemary also has tons of health benefits. You can get more information here.

    Nutritious Herb Blend with mortar and pestle

    So now, I keep some of my Super Nutritious Herb Blend on-hand at all times and just sprinkle it on everything. It is particularly nice on roasted potatoes and veggies. I chop up onions, potatoes, fresh garlic, broccoli, carrots, and whatever else I have on hand, toss it all with some EVOO, add a very, extremely, large handful of my herb blend, and bake it all for a good hour. DELICIOUS! Make sure to “spice it like you mean it” to get all that good stuff. 

    This blend can be added to pretty much any savory meal, but my favorites are soups, stews, shepherd’s pie, and marinara sauce. You can purchase all of the herbs you need for this recipe in my online herb shop here.
