Whether you’ve run out of an item or you want to avoid added sugars, chemicals or calories you can make a lot of staples in your pantry or refrigerator at home. And they are usually simple and much cheaper than the store-bought version. I love making my own peanut butter, taco seasoning, honey mustard, ketchup, chicken stock, croutons, vanilla extract and much more. Here’s a round up of some other DIY pantry staples I love.
