MORE Foodie Fixes

These recipes and ideas are for those of us who are in the middle of cooking and realize we are out of a product we need.  Also for those who live out in the country and too far to make a quicky run to the store, for those stuck in the house for various reasons, and for ALL of us who just love saving money!!!!


COCKTAIL SAUCE
1/2 C catsup                     can also use part chili sauce
1 Tbsp. horseradish
1 tsp. lemon juice
5 dashes of Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp. tabasco (optional)

Mix together and chill.  I make our cocktail sauce all the time. 
*I always have a jar of ground horseradish in the frig for various uses, but I also have horseradish powder on hand.


LAWRY'S SEASONED SALT
2 Tbsp. salt
2 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. turmeric
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. cornstarch
Make up a lot and store in a spice container or jar.


SUPER EASY BBQ SAUCE
1 C grape jelly
1 C catsup
Mix together and serve over meat.


HOMEMADE CATSUP
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
3 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. vinegar
very small dash of cinnamon

Pour tomato sauce into a small saucepan and boil - till it starts to thicken.  Add sugar, cinnamon and vinegar.  Simmer 3 -4 minutes longer.  Refrigerate.
**Go easy on cinnamon - it's real easy to get too much in recipe.


ARBY'S HORSEY SAUCE
Mayo
Horseradish

Mix to your taste preference.  Great with beef.


EASY PEACH JAM
2 C peaches
2 Tbsp. water
2 C sugar
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
Peel and slice peaches.  Put into a saucepan with water and cook peaches down to pulp and juices.  Add sugar and cornstarch and boil till thickened.  Refrigerate or freeze.
This is a great way to use up fruit that may be past it's prime.


I hope this gives you a few ideas and helps save a grocery trip and a dollar or two!  Small steps on the frugal front can add up in the long run.  Take care of your pennies and they will take care of you.
HAPPY COOKING!
