Why buy commercially made food when you can make it better, cheaper and in the convenience of your own home? My family doesn’t like mayo. We love Miracle Whip. But I know from experience that homemade anything tastes better than about anything I have bought in a store.
Here is a perfect example. This is a delicious recipe for Miracle Whip that allows you to refine the amounts of the ingredients to customize the flavors you love the most. I tweaked mine with more lemon juice and vinegar to give it a bit more tartness. You may like adding more garlic or using less salt. You are in control.
Because I have such a complete home store and have my own chickens, this cost me only the price for the vegetable oil I used. All the other ingredients are things I have, grow or raise. This is the versatility and flexibility I have in using ingredients I keep in my home that allows me to make commercial products we used to buy.
Learning these skills now, before you will need them in a SHTF scenario is important. Every time you learn to make something new, from scratch will prepare you and your family to enjoy a diet and foods that you are accustomed to without having to make sacrifices many may face.
MrPrepper always likes the food I make. But with this, he actually told me that it was the best he ever tasted. Believe me. That was a 5-Star rating!
