Italian Dressing Mix Packets- Homemade

I was looking for a shredded Italian beef recipe to make for a party I'm having this weekend.  All of the ones I found called for Italian dressing mix packets.  I use very few mixes for these reasons.

1.  Quality & freshness of ingredients.  I buy most of my spices organic and in bulk.
2.  Additives.  These dressing mixes, in particular, all have sugar in them.
3.  Expense.  We go through A LOT of food.  When I can make something, as opposed to buying it pre-made, I do.

I used this copycat recipe, but omitted the sugar.  Without the sugar, 1 1/2 Tbsp equals a packet.  My plan is to use it in the beef, if I make it into dressing I will add a few drops of stevia for sweetness.

Italian Chicken Casserole

This recipe was just okay in our opinion.  It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't really yummy either.  Thinking about adding some chicken broth to the leftovers and calling it soup.  :)

Whole30- Week 3 Meal Plan

I'm all ready to begin day 15 of my Whole30.  One thing I've learned is how much I love having our meals planned.  I have not followed them exactly due to changes of plans or availability of ingredients.  That is okay.  It gives me an idea for grocery shopping and makes staying Whole30 compliant easy.
