Jalapeno Salt 🌶️🧂

Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup dehydrated jalapenos (about 10) 🌶️
- 1 cup coarse kosher salt 🧂

Instructions:
1. Wash and dice fresh jalapenos, then spread them on a dehydrator tray 🌶️. Dehydrate at 125°F for 6-10 hours, or until the pieces are completely brittle.
2. Place the dehydrated jalapenos in a food processor and pulse 2-3 times to break them into smaller pieces 🌱. Skip this step if you prefer a finer salt blend.
3. Add the coarse kosher salt to the food processor 🧂.
4. Blend the salt and jalapenos to your preferred texture—less blending for chunkier pieces, more blending for a finer grind 🌶️🧂.
5. Store the jalapeno salt in an airtight container. Use a shaker or salt bowl when seasoning your dishes ✨.

Spice up your meals with this zesty salt blend!

Been spending around 250$ on groceries a month and meal prepping so I eat for 8$ a day.
🍎 Food
In 2024 I saved a total of 1,000$ + shopping with Krogers, we are mildly extreme couponers, I use Sam’s club to buy most fluids, bulk pasta, bulk condiments, pet food etc. , and my gf has an employee discount for 10% certain stuff. Today I did a shopping trip for meals and snacks to run us til the top of February. 25 dinners, 25 lunches, and various snacks/deserts totaled 337.29$ (168$ between me and my gf each)! Saved 79$ at Krogers and I could’ve saved 10$ at Sam’s with my Sam’s cash but I held it. There was a lot of meal cooking items left over from December (flour, oil, sugar, starches) so I think that contributed to such a tightly planned trip. I’m gonna be eating for 5.50$ a day for all three meals this month, and I can afford a Wendy’s lunch here or there! One day I won’t have to worry about money and food 🙂 Favorite meals I got planed this month is Tortelini soup, Beef Gyros and Greek fries, and Shrimp/Crab sushi
