Top ingredients to make homemade
I’m trying to prepare more and more food items from scratch, rather than buy a convenience version at the store. I like cooking, and I like to know what’s going into my food. Plus, in many cases, it’s more economical to do it yourself.
Some items I’ve made recently include:
- Homemade tartar sauce (It’s just mayo, relish, a few drops of lemon juice/vinegar, and dill)
- Bread crumbs. I just save the heels of bread loaves, and put them in the freezer. When I need to restock my supply, I toast the bread in the oven, and toss it into my food processor. I add some seasonings, and that’s it! Sooo much cheaper than the store-bought version.
- Jello as a spread on toast. Have you ever done this? Sometimes, we like to put butter on toast, and then sprinkle a little bit of Jello (the powder, not the finished product). It’s delicious! I don’t know how good or bad it is for ya, but it’s an idea for when you want some flavor but are out of jelly.
- Apple syrup. Yum!
Visit Tammy’s Recipies and Hillbilly Housewife for tons of ideas.
