Homemade Challenge

Pic by winnond editing by me.

A few weeks ago on Facebook I mentioned that I would be starting my Homemade/Handmade Challenge again. Some of you joined along last time and I can not WAIT for even more of you to join along this year!

The rules are pretty simple, try to make at least ONE thing from scratch/homemade/handmade per week. That's it! Pretty simple huh? It can be anything, food, crafts, cleaners, sewing, etc.

To get you started, here is my Master Baking Mix recipe I shared over at Money Saving Queen last year. It is GREAT! I switch between using Butter and Shortening, which ever I happen to have on hand is what I use.

I use this in place of a name brand all purpose baking mix that comes in a yellow box with blue writing. ;-) My friend Kristy over at Mommy Hates Cooking came up with a Gluten Free version and has some GREAT recipes you can use either version in.

I would LOVE to hear what you guys make each week! I will have a post each week featuring what I made the week before and would LOVE for you guys to leave a comment letting me know what you made. Also, share on Twitter and Instagram with #HomemadeChallenge!

I can't wait to see what you guys come up with!

Strawberries and Cream Instant Oatmeal | Recipe

I don't know about you but, we go through oatmeal like that is the only thing to eat on this planet! Seriously a TON! My youngest would eat it for every meal and snack....every day....if I let her. Yes, the little packs can be cheap (if you can find a coupon and get them on sale) but it still adds up. I used things I already had on hand so there was no extra cost to make this. FREE is ALWAYS good! I tried before to make little packets to keep on hand but that was a complete fail. I have since reworked the recipe and am happy with the results. I decided to just keep the oatmeal in a glass container this time and scoop out what we need, when we need it. You can also make this into packets by just scooping the desired amount into zip-top bags. {Strawberries & Cream Instant Oatmeal} 12 Servings 6 Cups Quick Cook Oats 1 1/2 Cups Oat Powder 2 Cups Powdered Milk 1 - 1 1/2 Cup Sugar 1 Cup Fr...

Today I am posting at Mom It Forward!

Hey guys! I have some EXCITING news! Today I am posting over at Mom It Forward ! I have shared my Fiesta Chicken Tacos recipe, it is SO good! Go check it out! While you are there, check out all of my other posts I have shared there. The Fiesta Chicken Taco mix is GREAT on nachos as well! I also made a quesadilla with some of the mix last night and it was AMAZING! This is also a very frugal meal, the total cost for me was $2.67! Here is the breakdown: Leftover Chicken - Free Black Beans - $0.50 for 1 can Frozen Corn - $0.17 (it was on sale and I used coupons, it was $0.33/bag and I used half a bag) Tomatoes and Green Chilies - FREE (again, on sale and I had a coupon) Tortillas - $2 Total- $2.67! Now, if you had to buy all of that at regular price it still equals out to a very frugal meal. Enjoy!
