Hi Friend!

Easy Homemade Pantry Items to Save you Time & Money in the Kitchen | Get Better Quality Food!

Its time to restock my pantry! Whenever possible, I look for ways to swap storebought for homemade pantry items, to save money and time while getting better quailty food. In this video I'll show you how to make homemade powdered sugar, brown sugar, pancake/waffle mix, cornbread mix, brownie mix, taco seasoning and ranch seasoning. I hope you get some inspiration to swap storebought for easy, homemade pantry items without the unhealthy ingredients and high price tag.

Thanks for watching!

Powdered Sugar
For every cup of granulated sugar add 1 Tbsp of Arrowroot powder or Corn Starch

Brown Sugar
For every cup of granulated sugar add 1 Tbsp of Molasses. Double the Molasses for Dark Brown Sugar

Pancake/Waffle Mix
Mix is 8 cups flour, 4 tsp salt, 6 tablespoons baking powder, 4 tablespoons sugar.

combine 2 cups of mix, add 2 eggs, 1 2/3 c milk(or buttermilk) 1/3 c melted butter and 1tsp vanilla.

Cornbread mix
Mix is 4 cups cornmeal, 4 cups flour, 1/4 cup baking powder, 2tsp salt.

combine 2 cups of mix, 1 egg, 1 c buttermilk, 1/4 c honey, 4 tablespoons melted butter. Bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees.

Brownie Mix
Mix is 6 cups flour, 4 tsp baking powder, 4 tsp salt, 8 cups sugar, 8 ounces unsweetened cocoa powder.

1/2 cup butter, melted
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups brownie mix
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8×8 pan. Combine the butter, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk.

Add the brownie mix, whisk until smooth. Stir in optional nuts
Pour into the prepared pan and bake 25-30 minutes.
Don’t over bake these, they are pretty fudgy and gooey.


For these seasonings I add them to recipes “to taste”

Taco seasoning
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons of chili powder
2 Teaspoons of Paprika
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 and a half teaspoons of oregano
1 tablespoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of pepper
1 tablespoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of cumin
1 tablespoon of arrowroot root powder



Ranch seasoning
4 tablespoons onion powder
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons parsley
1 teaspoon of chives
1 teaspoon dill weed
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 tablespoon arrowroot powder

For ranch dip take 1 cup sour cream and add a tablespoon of mix, taste and add more mix if desired to your liking.

I don’t have an exact recipe for dressing, I kind of wing it, but it goes something like this... 1/2 cup Mayo, 1/4 cup buttermilk, 1/4 cup sour cream. Add one tablespoon, taste, add more to liking if desired.
