Homemade Staples

There are many foods that we rely on for meals that can easily be made at home. But, we usually go for convenience and grab them from the store. Then we are left with subpar ingredients, less than ideal flavor, and/or extra packaging to throw away. Start making these staple ingredients from home for a happier and healthier kitchen!
