In reply to Lynda. Hi, Lynda! Welcome to our site! There is a drop-down menu on every recipe card that will allow you to adjust the serving size of the recipe to make things just for one. I hope that helps! ~Marion :)

In reply to James.

When I’m short on time….
I keep frozen potatoes (cubed hashbrowns) for quick mashed potatoes or potatoes salad. I’ve even used them in soups and stew.
I always keep dry cake mix and cans of pie fillings on hand. A quick dessert for the family or if company shows up.
Examples
Spice cake/apple pie filling
Yellow cake/canned peaches
White cake/cherry or blueberry pie filling.
Blessings everyone!

A staple I have that is not on your list is Evaporated milk and sweet condensed Milk. Evaporated milk has come in hand for days when cant get to grocery store and ran out of milk. It tastes way better then powdered milk. Sweetened Condensed Milk is great for deserts when craving something sweet, whether is pumpkin pie or ice cream.

Food grade – Sodium Citrate. This magical white powder is an emulsifier (and other things). It’s used in the food industry such as gelatin mix, ice-cream, jams, sweets, milk powder, processed cheeses, carbonated beverages, and wine. I find it best for Nacho cheese fondue/sauce/dip/soup or where the ingredients dont normally mix. No need for cornflour, and the sauce will NEVER set into a hard lump.
I’ve been using ‘Modernist cuisine’s’ recipe: https://www.foodrepublic.com/recipes/take-modernist-cuisines-nacho-cheese-sauce-for-a-spin/

In reply to Sarah. Trader Joe's has converted me to minced frozen garlic (and ginger). It comes in these 1x1cm cubes which is about a teaspoon. It is just as convenient as the jarred minced garlic and I think it tastes and smells a lot fresher. I recommend it if you are lucky enough to have a TJ's nearby.
