Here's a list of the ingredients I stockpile as the weather cools down -
* Corn Flour
* Sugar - white and brown
* Cocoa Powder - unsweetened
* Rolled oats and quick oats
* Tinned fruit for cobbler and crumble desserts
* Flour - Self Raising and Plain
* Tinned Soups -tomato, cream of chicken and cream of celery for casseroles and slow cooking
* Tinned Tomatoes
* Tinned Corn
* Creamed Corn
* French Onion Soup Mix
* Chicken Noodle Soup Mix
* Curry Powder
* Coconut Cream
* Gravy Powder
* Stock Powder - vegetable, chicken and beef
* Custard Powder
I stock up on many of the same things you do. I also do green chilis, tomato paste, canned beans, & canned milk. Mostly stuff for soups. I make up mixes for several things. Cream of chicken soup, onion soup, chili spices, enchilada spices, & sometimes things like muffins.
ReplyDeleteI don't use the oven much in summertime, but when the weather cools, I enjoy baking so I also like extra flour, sugar, brown sugar, etc. in case I get the urge!
Great list. I haven't bought brown sugar in years, I stock extra white sugar and molasses and make my own. 1-2 teaspoons of molasses per cup of sugar to start then add more to get the taste I want. Mixing it with a stand mixer or hand held mixer until most of the molasses clumps are very small or gone. I make 4 cups at a time and store it in an air tight container, I've had it last 6 months before it starts to dry out.
ReplyDeleteI always stock canned tomatoes as I feel like I can cook multiple things with those on hand. Your about to come into my favorite time of year, fall and winter while here in the U.S. we are starting spring/summer.
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy, just wondering what custard powder you buy
ReplyDeletePlease Julie
I usually buy Foster Clarkes but have been known to buy the generic brand.
DeleteThank you, I usually buy white wings (corn flour base) but was thinking of mixing it with the generic to make a cheaper version😀
