Homemade Pantry Staples- Dry Mixes- Sauce and Gravy Copycat Recipes- Prepping on a budget!
I love finding ways to prepare on a budget, beat food shortages, prep for SHTF, and find alternatives to GMO and bioengineered foods. DIY shelf stable mother sauces - Thrive Life copycat recipes to use in meals in a jar when their sauces are out of stock. Many people are learning about using freeze dried food in their cooking from Canadian Prepper, Alaska Prepper, Off Grid with Doug & Stacy, and Riverside Homestead Life. There are also great recipes on channels like Homestead Corner, Suttons Daze, Live Simple Live Free, and She's in Her Apron.
Here is the link to all of my printable recipes. These 3 newest ones are all the way at the bottom: sites.google.com/wickedprepar...

Can you use arrow root powder instead of corn starch
IF you are really looking fotr the color look for Kitchen Bouquet Browning & Seasoning Sauce a little goes a very long way

Where did you find the measuring spoons at?
How much water is being added to the "small" batch recipes?
🇫🇷 when I'm baking I always run my flour through a wireless strainer or anything that like. and whatever I'm baking always turns out better just the fluffiness of it and I don't know I just like it better 🐝🐝🐝 Like your glass jars so looked online at Amazon and actually found three for about $10 less and they already have the label to write on them. Not sure if you had to add the label but for anyone who might be on a budget it's $10 less. I'll try to add a picture here. won't let me, but here's the description 😉 Flrolove 74 oz/2200ml Glass Storage Jars with Airtight Lids,Pantry Storage Containers with Lids Airtight,Square Large Food Storage Containers Set of 3,Perfect for Kitchen Canning Cereal/Pasta/Sugar

🇨🇵 Question: What would you use as a substitute for corn starch? (My family has several members highly allergic to soy and corn.)
@wickedprepared
6 ай бұрын
I would try arrowroot powder or potato starch.
For the chicken gravy you’re missing the browning seasoning. When you cook chicken in a pan the brown bits are called “fond”. You might capture this in kitchen bouquet? I have never used it before. Also a tiny bit of sugar because the natural sugars are what cause the browning. If you cook your mix in a pan like a roux, brown it up a bit you may get the flavor you want and the color. Try it
@wickedprepared

You could definitely add something like that if you wanted. I was sticking with just shelf stable powdered ingredients and copying the Thrive flavors. I got close on the veloute with what I had to work with and I'm definitely happy with with the flavor. I expiremented with some sugar and some carrot powder while I was testing and I wasn't happy with the result. But the flavor and the ingredients are what is most important to me in this situation, that way it can be used as a substitute in my meal in a jar recipes 😊

You are so right…on the back of say McCormicks low sodium package mix it says the add some soy sauce. I’m going to try adding soy sauce powder and or Worcestershire powder… umami flavor is what’s missing.

She called it salmon pea wiggle...she just added canned salmon and peas to a white sauce, seasoned with salt and pepper and we ate it over toast. I always loved it! She used salmon that my grampa caught in Alaska and she canned up and brought home, so it was probably a little bit better than store bought canned salmon!
