Stop Buying and Start Making These Everyday Food Recipes

July 6, 2014 by RecipeLion

Stop Buying and Start Making These Everyday Food RecipesDo you ever wonder how easy it would be to make your own salad dressing? How about mustard or even something more essential like a loaf of bread? I know I do. And, sometimes it seems like a waste of money buying marked-up brand name products from the grocery store when the quality isn’t that great. That’s why I’ve put together some of my favorite everyday food recipes just for you. All of these recipes use very basic ingredients – items you can easily find in your kitchen – and take very little effort to make. These homemade versions are delicious and often healthier replacements for store-bought products.

If you’re intimidated by making your own bread or ice cream, fear not! The recipes might seem tricky and time intensive at first, but they are so worthwhile. A few years ago, my family started making homemade ice cream instead of the store-bought kind, and we saw a huge difference in quality. Our ice cream was richer, creamier, and we could make whatever flavor we wanted! We made everything from coffee-toffee to cardamom ice cream. Best of all, it wasn’t difficult in the slightest, and the whole family was able to participate in making a delicious dessert.

So, stop buying the basics! Making them yourself is cheaper, tastier, and much more satisfying. Just try a few of these recipes, and soon enough you’ll never believe that you used to buy these easy everyday foods at the store.
