Description

📘 Brenda Cooks: 162 recipes for every kind of week your kitchen goes through https://brendacooks.com/ Look at your refrigerator door: the dressing, the creamer, the jar of something you bought for one recipe in March. Then the pantry: the seasoning packets, the microwave popcorn, the cartons of broth. Every one of those is plain stuff you already own, mixed up by somebody else, put in a package, and sold back to you at four or five times what it cost them. I'm not saying make everything. Just these ten, because every one of them pays. In this one I'll walk you through 10 foods to stop buying and make yourself for pennies: 🍿 Microwave popcorn, coffee creamer and salad dressing 🌮 Taco seasoning and the other packets, block cheese instead of shredded, and your own baking mix 🥛 Homemade yogurt from a gallon of milk, and a cream-of-anything soup from butter, flour and milk 🥣 Granola and instant oatmeal from the big canister of oats …and number one, the one you're throwing straight in the trash right now: real broth from a bag in the freezer. The front of the label is for selling. The back is a recipe. Start the freezer bag tonight. If cooking from the cupboard and a smart, thrifty kitchen sound good to you, subscribe and stick around — that's what we do here every week. 💛 Which of these ten were you buying, and which will you try first? Tell me down in the comments. #budgetmeals #cheapmeals #homemade #fromscratch #frugalcooking #pantrystaples #cookingathome #frugalliving #madefromscratch
