Tips for these recipes
Be sure to read the recipe instructions. Many of these recipes include variations and substitutions that you can use. For example, you might come across a recipe for beef tacos, but you can easily replace it with pork or chicken instead of using ground beef.
Or, maybe you have the ingredients to make rice crackers, like a box of rice crackers. Just use different grains like chex mix or lucky charms. Be creative with the supplies you own I think you will find that you can make more recipes than you can imagine.
These posts also have other useful tips and storage information. I especially love that recipes can be frozen for later use. Since you’re already making this dish, it’s a great cost and time saver to double the recipe and have one more meal.
notes: I do want to point out that in some recipes there may be more than 5 ingredients listed.anyone Additional ingredients are optional And there is no need to make finished dishes, Or they are basic kitchen staples Just like salt and oil.
