There are days when I know exactly what I want to eat for dinner. I plan on making it as soon as I’m home from work; I think about what dishes I’ll use, how I’ll serve it, how much time it will take to create. When I finally get into the kitchen at the end of the day, eager to throw on my apron and fix up some deliciousness, I find to my utter disappointment that, alas, I don’t have one of the ingredients that is absolutely essential. Does this happen to you? After a long day, the last thing I want to do is go to the grocery store for one ingredient, so I usually end up settling for a meal that I’m far less excited about. It’s not a tragedy by any means, but it sure is obnoxious. In situations like these, it would be nice to know that I could make the missing ingredient out of a few food storage staples that I already had around.

This week’s edition of the recipe exchange features three simple recipes you can use to make some must-haves in your kitchen. Once made, the food from these recipes will be great in all sorts of meals and creations. All three recipes can be found in the Recipe Database at the Shelf Reliance website. Keep reading to find the food storage recipes for Whole Wheat Tortillas, Sweetened Condensed Milk, and Powdered Sugar. (more…)
