THE SUSTAINABLE KITCHEN .

We have been learning how to eliminate the need to depend on  our grocery store for the items we use by learning how to make as much as we can  ourselves. We started with the simple , small things, and  we will be sharing,  to help you and your kitchen also , become a SUSTAINABLE KITCHEN .    We are looking to get back to the basics, and rid ourselves of all the manufactured  unnecessary  processing and additives .  WAIT !      DON'T ROLL YOUR EYES !    THIS IS NOT HARD OR TIME CONSUMING.  Just relax !   The things we learned were shockingly easy.... For instance,

Did you know ?

If you buy reg. sugar and a jar of molasses,  you now have 3 kinds of sugar !
Yup! to get brown sugar and dark brown sugar , all you have to do is mix white sugar with the molasses. The more molasses the darker the sugar.   AND IT'S FRESH !   Any time you want it.   And you just cut out two items you now don't have to buy, and you don't have to pay for the processing and packaging any more.   SEE !        You just saved time, money and it is fresh and easy.

So many things we buy and don't think about.     I find it much easier on me and my pocket book, to think, can I make that ?         Here is another.

Did you know ?

Cream of tartar and baking soda = Baking Powder.
1/2 tsp cream of tartar. plus,1/2 tsp baking soda  will give you 1 teaspoon (tsp) baking powder.

We will be sharing as many as we can.         We hope you find it interesting. T
