Time to Restock Your Pantry πŸ«™βœ¨


Hi, Reader,

If you're new to living a more self-sufficient life, I highly recommend learning how to make a few pantry staples.

It's amazing how powerful it is to know that you can make most of the items in the grocery store.

From seasoning blends and extracts to leavening agents and even brown sugar, you can make-do with just a few basics.

Plus, they're easy.

Most require just 1-3 ingredients, so truly anyone can make them.

So, you get a little confidence boost, skip the trip to the store, and control the quality of ingredients all at the same time. That's my kind of thing!

I'm sharing some of my favorite pantry staple recipes below to help get you going.

P.S. Do you have a recipe you'd like me to add to the blog? Or topics you want me to cover in these emails? I'd love to help! Just send me a reply to let me know. :)

This Strawberry Snack Cake. πŸ“πŸ° It's buttery and just sweet enough, topped with strawberry whipped cream, then garnished with even more fresh berries. You get layer after layer of strawberry goodness in every bite! It's like strawberry shortcake...in cake form. Get the recipe

Hi, Reader, Do you grow any herbs? I'll be honest - I wasn't that interested in them when I started gardening 11 years ago. I usually focused on basil and cilantro since you need those for pesto and salsa! But over the years, I've added more and more. Parsley, chives, mint, rosemary, oregano, thyme, bee balm, dill, sage, and probably more I'm forgetting. I love watching them grow, I love running my hands through them, and I love preserving them to enjoy all year long! Fortunately, herbs are...

Are you ready? πŸ«™πŸŒΏ And hey, if you’re not a canner (yet), don’t click away!Canning is just one of many ways to preserve food, and I promise, it’s not as complicated as it seems.
