Happy Thursday to you all. Hope this finds you all safe - there sure has been some nasty weather the past day or two all over the place! Two days ago, we were near 65 - yesterday the winds were blowing (very briskly late in day), and we had rain - then sleet and flurries! Crazy stuff. There was a dusting on 'things' this morning, nothing on the ground. Skies are supposed to clear today - so sunglasses will be in order.
I saw another robin this morning - that is promising. So is the weather forecast. 70*F by Tuesday! EEK
I sure love these little tastes of spring.
You may have little to some - and you may super wealthy to others. It is all perspective. Make yours a positive attitude and influence.
I love this stuff. I keep a batch on hand all the time. It is super on salads
No more ingredients you can't pronounce. Make you own cake mix and keep the dry ingredients in a jar on the shelf ready to go. Bake as you would a cake mix purchased at the store.
Today is just a few more idea/recipes that can be done right in your kitchen and you don't have to go out and buy something special. No more 'one thing' runs!
I know I have shared some of these in the past, but there may be some new people who can use these, and they are just reminders for the rest of us.
As always - click on the recipe to enlarge for easier reading!
CREAMY HONEY MUSTARD
So easy to make and have on hand. No more cans necessary. You can make it into whatever type you want. You can use beef bouillon as well.
Good to have - as many cake mixes are smaller now, and this like the original size.
STIR FRY SAUCE
You can also add spices or ginger to change it up a bit. This makes a good basic sauce for a tasty stir fry
Just a couple ideas to help your wallet and your pantry shelves. I love being able to just mix up something from what I have at home. Most of my whims can be covered with the supplies in the pantry.
Use what you have and make new things. Stop spending and start making!
Have a lovely and safe day. Hope all are well and warm!!!
Many blessings to all.
Love the homemade and healthy recipes! We are always amazed when we pass by the bottled salad dressing aisle. Even the so-called "healthy" renditions are not so much. The Farmer is a big label reader and I tell him, "Don't bother, you know it's all junk.".
ReplyDeleteNoticed the dusting of snow (?) this morning when I got up. We knew it was bound to happen.
Have a good weekend. Looking forward to those warmer days!
Homemade is just so much healthier. None of the things you can't pronounce and shouldn't be eating.
DeleteYep, we sure did get that dusting. Love the sunshine although it is still chilly.
Looking forward to pretty days as well.
This is a great list. I will be writing down the cake mix recipe. I'm constantly finding recipes I want to try that use a 'box mix' and I don't buy them so this will be perfect. So thank you!
ReplyDeleteI like to make everything myself now because seeing so many ingredients and 'may contain bioengineered ingredients' on the label is a hard no for me. It's just crazy what is allowed in our 'food'.
Enjoy the rest of your week.
I figured a lot of people might feel that way with the cake mix. I do like those recipes too that say use a box of cake mix.
DeleteYou truly have a hard time finding something that doesn't have bioengineered items in them. It really is sad.
Thinking about storing the cake mix in canning jars so the rest of the house can use it. I know they should be able to put 4 ingrediants togother but alas they can't.
ReplyDeleteExactly. That is the way I store most any mix I make. Put the instructions on it and anyone can make it.
DeleteThanks
I need the soup mix recipe.
ReplyDeleteGood - hope you can enjoy it.
DeleteA cup can be refilled ... Reminds me of the children's story about Bucket Filling (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TS7SyJN__s) and the importance of filling buckets instead of dipping. A good lesson for adults, too, especially in this climate.
ReplyDeleteLove the recipe for "cream of" soup base. Going to mix up a batch so it's ready to go when I need some. Will use stock instead of water and/or add in some Better than Bullion when I mix it up. Thank you for sharing that recipe!
You are more than welcome. So glad that people are finding things they will use. That makes me happy.
DeleteThank you for sharing the link. We all need kind stories today.
Yum!
ReplyDeleteHope you find one you can use!
DeleteSaved your notes, they're going to be helpful!
ReplyDeleteToday it was/is all wind wind wind, and the power blew away early this morning. So glad I was going to work where the heat would be on! :) Now I'm home, the wind is still blowing, and I hope the power doesn't go out again.

Good - glad you can use.
DeleteDang, sorry you lost power, but glad you were where it was warm. I sure hope the fires don't come close to you. The wind sure doesn't help that situation.
Stay safe and warm!
My stir fry sauce is a bit different so I am going to give yours a try the next time I make a pork stir fry. Thanks, I really love different tastes.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Great. There are so many variations of sauces. I like to keep it simple for my tastes.
DeleteOh I’m saving the stir fry sauce recipe. I’ve been collecting marinade recipes, too. I’m trying to use the indoor grill more.
ReplyDeleteGood, glad you can use it. The indoor grill is my only one now - it is fine for me.
DeleteEnjoy
Thanks for the recipes, Cheryl. I do make the honey mustard dressing but use yogurt instead of mayo as hubs is on a low cholesterol diet. I am definitely going to make up some of the Krazy Salt too. Making my own version of things definitely saves a bundle when it comes to groceries. Cookie
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. Thanks, that is a good tip using the yogurt.
DeleteI love Krazy Salt - it is good on all things - but especially salads!
It sure is comforting to know you can do it yourself and not have to depend on paying high grocery prices.
Yum, I love honey mustard! It is so delicious. The stir fry sauce and crazy salt both sound appealing. Thank you for the recipes.
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome! Hope you try them.
