Citrus or Mushroom Flavored Sea Salt
There are sooo many things that have been on my “to do” list for ages. Which is why I like Marisa McClellan’s Food in Jars Challenge. Some people (me!) just gotta have a deadline!
So today (two days before the end of this month’s salt preserving challenge) I made three varieties of Flavored Sea Salt–lime, orange and mushroom.
Years ago, my then administrative assistant gave me a jar of citrus sea salt as a gift. The beautiful orange and white colors looked so lovely on toffee and salted caramels, that I’ve rationed it for holiday gift giving. With under a teaspoon left, making my own was long overdue.
The mushroom idea came from Cheri of My Savory Spoon. I happened to have dried shitakes (I use them in my Cod Poached in Herb Butter) so I pulverized one of them in my blender (she used a coffee grinder). Easy peasy!
My husband, daughter and I used the Shitake Flavored Sea Salt the same day to top baked potatoes–and my husband is eyeing up the frozen steaks!
How to Make Flavored Sea Salt
From reading a number of different takes on this, the basic principle for making Flavored Sea Salt seems to be this: Mix equal parts sea salt and finely minced flavoring ingredient, then lay out the flavored salt until dry (dried mushroom plus salt is already dry). Since I have a dehydrator, I popped my citrus salts in there and they were done in under an hour.
If you want to try a citrus salt I recommend using a microplane to zest your fruit. It delivers a finely grated zest without the bitter white pith that a bigger grater would give you. Finally try to get organic if possible, since you will be eating the peel.
It really was easy and fun. How often have I said, “should have done this years ago”?
Citrus or Mushroom Flavored Sea Salt
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons citrus zest any variety, or a mixture or dried mushroom powder
- 2 Tablespoons sea salt
Instructions
- Mix together ingredients until well blended. Dry in dehydrator or in air until dry (which will be immediately if you select mushroom powder)

What I did to help me accomplish some old goals is I posted inspiration throughout my house. For my weight loss goal, I posted pictures of myself and my goal weight from years ago and pictures of my self currently.
Also, LISTS always help me!
If you have a goal, give up something for lent that helps you accomplish it (like staying off the computer during certain times of day).
I accomplish old goals rarely, but when I do, it’s because I’ve made a game out of it. Like I earn points, and after X amount of points I level up and get to get a reward!

I try never to have ‘old goals’ because I try to get to everything on my to-do list done within the week. And anything on the list that doesn’t get done, gets put at the top of the next week’s list.

My trick for finishing old goals used to be 43things.com but then it shut down :(. It was a website where you listed up to 43 goals and other people could have the same goals and you could track your progress and encourage each other.
I think accountability is important. I always tell my close friends about a goal if I know it will be tough to do! I also believe in journaling and celebrating completing small steps of that big goal.
I keep a list of all of my long term goals and I check the list often.
I like to write down my goals so then I have them, remember them, and keep myself accountable.

I try to accomplish old goals by making lists of things that I still need to accomplish and then coming back to the list every so often and try to reward myself if I’ve completed them.
I accomplish old goals by re-writing them on order of how long it will take me to finish each goal. If a goal won’t take longer than 20 minutes to accomplish (like scheduling a dentist appointment), I don’t write it down. I just do it.

I have two tricks for finishing old goals:
1 – make sure it was actually your goal that you set, not something you felt someone else expected you to set. If it’s not yours, let it go.
2 – if it’s not getting done yet, something’s up. Maybe chunk it up into easier baby steps or ask someone to be your accountability partner.

I make-up my mind that I’m going to get it done. Then, I make a written plan that breaks the goal down into several mini-goals with a time-line for completion. It’s easier for me to accomplish things when I have a written plan — make it flexible so you don’t set yourself up for failure.

It’s good to have support from family and friends
My trick to accomplish old goals is to make a list of the things I want to do. Each time I check an item off it encourages to complete another goal.
