56. Homemade Condiments - Monthly Swap Series March 2023

I am back with the March Monthly Swap series! I am doing a Monthly Series where I focus on swapping something that would normally be store bought with a homemade version.

Each month I will have a specific focus so that I do not get overwhelmed and can master it in 30 days.

The month of March is focused on swapping store bought condiments for homemade, from scratch ones!

Over the next 30 days, I am working to swap out packaged condiments with homemade versions. There are a few condiments that I have been doing this with for awhile such as salad dressings, cocktail sauce, and tartar sauce but there are still many that I buy from the store.

One of the aspects I am looking at is how time consuming or costly it is to make these condiments from scratch. There may be some condiments that are not worth the time, effort, and cost so I will probably continue to buy them. Having this option and ability to chose which ones I make from scratch and which ones I buy is really the freedom I am looking for.

Join me in this episode where I talk about the steps I am currently making and my goals in this area!

In this episode, I reference the Back to Homemaking Collective which is an AMAZING resource available only until the end of March 2023. You can check that out here: Back to Homemaking Collective.
