Easy Homemade Kitchen Staples
Posted on | August 17, 2012 | 2 Comments
Living overseas can make it difficult to find or prepare some of your favorite foods. But you know what they say, where there’s a will, there’s a way!
A lot of things that I like, I have my mom ship to me from the US, or sometimes someone who is traveling will bring things down as a favor. But what’s best is if you can find ways to make due with what you’ve got here to use.
I’ve written up a few recipes over the years precisely about that – homemade salad dressing, how to make “Cream of ……” soup, and so on. But I came across this great book that has recipes for making 50 different easy homemade kitchen staples. Things like homemade pizza crust, peanut butter, granola, fruit rollups, - and my favorites, homemade poultry seasoning and ranch dressing mix!
Even people who aren’t living overseas can really enjoy these recipes. In a lot of cases, they’re less expensive than buying store-bought. And just as important, you know what’s going in them, so you can better look out for your family’s health.
The book is available as a Kindle Download by clicking here >Easy Homemade: Homemade Pantry Staples for the Busy Modern Family
Or you can get the pdf for 99 cents if you purchase BEFORE August 21 > http://easyhomemade.net/
I’ve got my copy, and I’m thrilled with it! If you’re looking for a way to save a little money and put some healthier food in front of your family, pick up your copy too!

I got tired of life happening while I made other plans, so I quit my job and came to Peru. I live here with my Peruvian husband, two sons, three dogs and various other family members, depending on the weather.

I can imagine you’re having fun making these staples from scratch. I had to do this in every country I’ve lived and at one time I even learned (but now forgot) how to make whipping cream out of butter. Because, well, there was no cream of any kind for sale, but we could get frozen Danish butter and powdered milk.

Now that’s impressive! I’ve made whipped cream and I’ve made butter – but I didn’t even know it was possible to do it in reverse! I cook so much from scratch now, I used to be the queen of cans and boxes.
Honestly, though, there are times when I just miss being able to open a box of Zatarain’s Jambalaya mix and throw in some sausage to make a meal.
