I make rice often. It’s inexpensive and lends itself to many different flavors of almost any meal. But I’ve found a way to make rice even more flavorful and nutritious versus cooking it in plain water. And it’s FREE!
Use Whatcha Got is what I always say! Check out this Homestead Hack.

Don’t buy that cream-of chicken soup. It’s so easy to make cream of chicken soup (or any of the other flavor of cream-of soups) yourself in minutes.
I mean… you’re just thickening broth with a little flour and adding milk and whatever add-ins you want. So easy!

I stumbled upon this handy trick of peeling a hard-boiled egg in just seconds using a jar and water. Yes it works, I even included a video as proof. Check out this fun kitchen hack.

Recently I was in the kitchen with our daughter whipping up a brand new concoction that we’d never heard of before. We were just making up the recipe on the fly, but our dish needed breadcrumbs. Thankfully they’re super easy to make and today I already had a jump start on them.
You see I often use a shortcut when making pizza and slice up thick rounds from bread to use as our pizza crust. As luck would have it I had a round loaf of bread that I had sliced up into thick pizza crusts for our homemade pizza the night before, but the rounded top didn’t make the cut (LOL – see what I did there??)
So I had chopped it up & sat it aside to begin drying. But now I’ll use that bread to whip up some homemade breadcrumbs in a flash.

Did you know you can make your own gluten-free sweetened condensed milk in literally minutes?? I haven’t actually purchased an expensive can of this milk in years once I found out how easy it is to make myself.

Making homemade chicken broth is beyond easy, super healthy and makes use of bones/trimmings that used to be just thrown away!
And there’s a special ingredient to make it more calcium rich. Check it out.
I was dehydrating lots of vegetables from my garden. Each one was placed in a repurposed glass jar in my pantry. Then I decided to assemble various dry veggies, add some seasoning and make dehydrated salsa in a jar as a gift. The gift recipients LOVED IT!

I came across a great deal recently on a large quantity of beautiful fresh tomatoes. So decided I would make them into homemade tomato sauce.
Tomato sauce is an ingredient I use quite a bit in my kitchen. And making these fresh tomatoes into tomato sauce was EASY!
