I make almost all of these, but there are a few I seldom make. Yogurt & Tortillas have never made but am planning to make. To the list I would add, make your own Kombucha, Kefir & Swedish Bitters. Also medicinal drinks like Fire Cider & Super Tonic.

The easiest bread recipe for bread are the "crock pot" breads, I found one and it's the most "forgiving" recipe I've EVER used!! I've doubled and "tweaked" the recipe I used i bake in the oven and it makes two beautiful loaves. If you don't want to knead it, you don't have to either. Plus, no additional cost for a bread maker. I never had any luck with those monsters!! Here's the recipe I use: BREAD -EASY!!! Makes 2 loaves Ingredients • 5 cups bread flour or all-purpose flour more may be needed • 2 cup warm water • 4 ½ t. yeast • 4 Tablespoons Brown Sugar (can be reduced if bread seems too sweet-use 3 instead) • 4 Tablespoons oil • 2 teaspoons salt Any seasoning/add ins you prefer Mix warm water, brown sugar, stir to dissolve, add yeast and cover, let sit about 10/15 min until foamy. Add about half the flour, oil and salt, mix well until all ingredients are blended (If you have dough hooks they are the best to use), mix in about half the flour left, beat well, then beat in last of flour, dough will be sticky. At this point, the dough can be formed and baked, or allowed to rise about 15-20 min, covered in a warm place for 1 to 4 risings**, depend on how much time you have. If allowed to rise, leave in bowl and “knead: briefly, maybe 3 minutes. Form into ball in same bowl and continue to allow to rise. Form into 2 loaves, or will make about 18 rolls. Preheat oven to 350, bake in sprayed bread pans about 20 minutes, until lightly browned, about 25 min for loaves. Allow to cool before slicing. Enjoy!! **The more times the bread rises the finer the texture will be. For “artesian” type bread, which will have bigger air holes in it, you can bake on a greased cookie sheet for a flat, spread out loaf. For sweet rolls or filled, roll out dough and make cinnamon rolls, use full 4 T of brown sugar, spread filling, roll up, cut and put side by side in pan, frost when baked. (Sorry this is so long!!)

Don’t apologize! Thank you for sharing your recipe 😊

i definitely make my own hummus and veggie platter.

I make steelcut oats in the slow cooker. I use a timer & set to 4 to 6 hours on low. (Varies according to the type of cooker). I usually use half milk, half water. If using milk, i will either butter the bottom or use a pan spray. Sometimes i add dried fruit. I like oat groats even better. (Like steel cut but the kernels are left whole) i cook those for 6 to 8 hours. The slow cooker is very forgiving & even if you cook it longer than necessary, it doesn't get mushy. And yes, i do use milk when i use a timer as the milk won't spoil in that short time before it starts cooking. I love the smell when i wake up the next morning.

My sin while in college taught himself to bake sourdough bread! He was asked several times to bring a certain brand of sourdough bread to the weekly AG dept bbq. My son thought the bread good, but pricey! Alittke research .the next week, he showed up with warm from the oven fresh sourdough!, see your children are watching& plesrning! St chridtmas a rekative decided to upgrade my okd kitchenaude muxer, mine still worked ,but had an ugly chip in the enamle.I asked my son if he wanted itYES! Hes a college grad now& still buses my okd kitchenaide.he didnt care about the chip.

It’s great that you are encouraging people to try making these from scratch. I have made most of them over the years (except for the ketchup I think). I’m just like you, when I want to buy something I always check the label and say “Nah! I can make this myself without all this numbers and strange things in it. It’s so easy and much cheaper.” Like your mum I collect all sorts of things when walking around and make teas and jams. Keep up the great work!

You should definitely try making your own ketchup one of these days! I ended up using the last of the store bought ketchup I had in my fridge last week and I won’t miss it one bit. I don’t think I can go back!

Very slowly, over the last 20 years, I have stopped buying most multi-ingredient foods. Instead of buying premade convenience foods, I now just buy the single ingredients and assemble them myself. I am the kind of person that doesn't really like paying people to do things that I can learn to do myself. Where food is concerned, this became a medical necessity because each member of the family has different special dietary needs. If I do it all myself, I have full control over what is and isn't in the foods I make, and can ensure that each family member can continue to eat a healthier version of all their favorite foods, tailored to their specific individual needs. One of the things I can't make for my daughter is any meat based stock or broth. I still have to buy the boxed version from the store for her, because no matter what I do or how diligent I am, I can not remove enough of the fat from it to keep her from having digestive issues. If I use homemade meat stock in it, she can't have it. If I use the store bought stuff, she can. Sometimes, the things I make are more expensive than if I bought them ready made from the store. One example is my daughter's peanut butter. Since she has trouble digesting fats, she can't have the regular, lower cost ready made peanut butter. I have to buy peanut powder, which has nearly all the fat removed, and mix it with honey. Both of those ingredients are more expensive than a jar of normal peanut butter. But I'd rather pay more for something she can eat, than her living without her favorite foods or not having enough protein in her diet. For my husband, regular homemade whole wheat pancake mix wasn't going to cut it. It spiked his blood sugar too high. Through a lot of trial, error, and blood sugar testing, I finally came up with something that worked well for him, tastes great, and totally impressed his doctor with how healthy it is. His doctor says my recipe is loaded with all sorts of good fats, lots of protein, and lots of fiber, and if it's any indication of the quality of the rest of the foods I feed him, it's no wonder why he had to reduce his medication, instead of increasing it. For anyone that wants my recipe, here it is: For the pancake mix, combine the following: 5 cups whole wheat flour 1 cup wheat bran 1 cup flaxseed meal 1 cup coconut flour 1 cup almond flour 1 cup hazelnut flour 10 tsp baking powder 5 tsp baking soda To make pancake batter, combine the following: 1 cup pancake mix 3/4 cup nonfat milk (more if you like a thinner batter) 1 egg

More fresh fruit fresh veggies fresh salads and herbs beans grains nuts seeds

I am a bread lover, but am trying to cut back to consume more meaningful foods. Right now I just bought some bread with all kinds of grains from the store. I want to toast it up. If I could make the same sourdough or multi-gran IHOP had, I'd be set. I can make bread, but always need to use yeast bought from the store. I've tried more than once and all I do is waste flower. And my bread does not cut as nice slices as those bought from the store. Some times mine just crumbles.

Heads up: If u make a batch of White Chocolate Chip cookies, sometimes the cheaper brands will use vegetable oil. I premixed a double batch in a glass jar, then moved, and when baked they had a rancid taste.

All this energy, needed for the food processor, oven, stove etc, is a problem for most people in the EU and other areas of the world. Fuel is extremely expensive, and getting more so. You might need to re evaluate your storage/freezing.
