WHAT DO YOU MEAN GROCERY STORE KNOCK OFFS?

I’m talking making what you commonly buy at the store AT HOME for LESS MONEY all while using YOUR FOOD STORAGE! If you saw my last Studio 5 appearance where I showed how to make your own Pop Tarts and fruit leather using food storage, you’ll know what I’m talking about!

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

Because I want you to save money and have more control over what you’re family eats…all while using food storage and eating better!  I think most things in the store have been made that way for so long that we look at it like it’s magic and the only way we can do it is if we buy it….not true!  I have to say I’m totally hooked on figuring out how to make what we commonly buy in the store at home for less money AND using our food storage.

UM….ARE YOU SURE IT WILL TASTE GOOD?

When ever I make something from scratch I always think “Oh, this is how this is supposed to TASTE!”  I’ve been surprised over and over again at how much better things taste when I make them.  Why?  Well, there are a couple of reasons 1) I have more control over the ingredients-which means I control the amount of salt, sugar, etc. and 2) it’s F-R-E-S-H-who knows how long that food product has sat around on the shelves of the manufacturers and on the shelves of the grocery store AND on the shelves of your home…that’s a lot of sitting around.

BUT ISN’T COOKING FROM SCRATCH HARDER AND WON’T IT TAKE LONGER?

Well you know me, I’m busy just like you!  As much as I’d LOVE to, I can’t spend all day in the kitchen and when we use food storage we can save some time and skip a few steps.  Don’t worry, you know the recipes I use are easy, fool-proof, and delicious!

REALLY, YOU DO THIS? DO YOU HAVE ANY EXAMPLES?

Yep, I really do!  If you don’t believe me check some of these past posts…
