[@sandramagill3877]

To prevent spillage going to waste, put a piece of waxed paper under the jar. Then after the mix has been added to the jar, pour any spillage on the waxed paper into the jar.

[@KeepItSimpleWithGrandma]

@sandramagill3877 great idea 😊

I like dry essentials because you come make plenty of meals with just the basics. Mostly all the ones you did are t th e ones I mostly keep myself. But I never understood why the Bisquick which I have never used. If I had a good recipe I would try it.

Hi, love these mix ideas and recipes! We always (and often) Jiffy corn bread boxed mixes and will embellish depending on what we feel like on any given day. Do you know if doing the pre made mixes is more cost effective? (Bad at math) if you happen to know? Thanks again- just found your channel today and subbed- thanks again!

[@KeepItSimpleWithGrandma]

@GraceGrantedBeliever Thank you for watching! I have not done a break down of cost, but most is the ingredients you would already have in your pantry. The real benefit is knowing what's in it.

[@GraceGrantedBeliever]

@ Indeed- thank you!

[@melodyengland4439]

Hello, thank you for sharing this very helpful video, I wrote down your mixes here, a very healthy alternative, I was wondering if you could do a healthy version of cooking the packaged Mac n' cheese, those dry powered cheese packets & the moist cheese ones are EXTREMELY Salty, are there alternatives?,

[@KeepItSimpleWithGrandma]

@melodyengland4439 Thank you for watching. Good question. I'll do some checking to see if I can come up with an alternative.

[@melodyengland4439]

@@KeepItSimpleWithGrandma Well thank you for this quick response & for trying to come up with an alternative, I hope there is one.

[@angelaaneff445]

I use the country gravy when making potato soup. Could you just dump it in the broth like I do with the packets. If so I need to make this.

[@KeepItSimpleWithGrandma]

@angelaaneff445 that's a great idea. Yes, mix it with about a cup of your broth until it's smooth then pour it into your soup.

[@AngelaAneff]

I cook the potatoes until fork tender in 4 cups (32oz of broth usually chicken) after cooked add the gravy packet or packets (1c packet I need 2 if it’s 2c size just one). The 1c packets I need 2 packets, so 6 Tbls.

[@tammy7459]

For the cocoa I use different flavored creamers

[@ThorneyRose]

Ghee is shelf stable until opened. Do you think that ghee could be used?

[@KeepItSimpleWithGrandma]

@@ThorneyRose hmmm...I'm not sure about that 🤔

[@aliciadavidson5005]

I hope this isn’t a repeat question but where did you get your mushrooms??

[@KeepItSimpleWithGrandma]

I ordered them on Amazon. I pulsed them in my food processor. If you have a dehydrator, you can make your own.

[@karenlowe2999]

Why do you say to put the jiffy corn mix in the freezer? Can’t it just stay on the shelf until ready to use?

[@KeepItSimpleWithGrandma]

@karenlowe2999 It can be stored on the shelf for about 1 year. Thank you for watching.

[@beanetricemcdaniel6853]

There is also a dairy free powder milk I just ordered one to try out for my granddaughter she’s allergic to milk she is drinking soy milk for now. I might also look again for a dry powder.

[@KeepItSimpleWithGrandma]

that's great to find a dairy free powder 🙂

[@dinkherring2213]

Possible tip. Put your ingredients one at a time directly into the jar and shake or stir before adding the next. Minimize those transfer issues

[@KeepItSimpleWithGrandma]

@dinkherring2213 great idea, thanks

[@beanetricemcdaniel6853]

Do you have any recipes for people that are allergic to milk, eggs, peanuts & dairy? I just know found out I can sub the eggs for applesauce Milk for plant base..

[@KeepItSimpleWithGrandma]

@@beanetricemcdaniel6853 I'll have to do some research on that. Sorry!

[@karlahung5681]

What happens if I use self rising flour instead of all purpose?

[@KeepItSimpleWithGrandma]

good question, I'm not positive because self rising has baking powder and salt

[@kayfreschly6272]

Many mixes call for boullion. But it has ingredients that mess with my belly. Msg is especially bad also bringing on migraines. Anyone figured out what else could be used in a dry mix? My only thought is to add flavor with broth or butter and salt when actually cooking, but not in the mix itself. If anyone has a better idea, please let me know. Thanks.

[@KeepItSimpleWithGrandma]

Excellent point. The only solution I know of is to use fresh broth and dehydrate or freeze dry it and then blend it into a powder. Then you have your own bouillion.

[@kayfreschly6272]

@KeepItSimpleWithGrandma Thanks!

[@patsyeide3626]

Why add both flour and cornstarch?

[@KeepItSimpleWithGrandma]

@patsyeide3626 adding both to sauces or gravies is not necessary but makes for a better gravy. The flour makes it thicker and more flavorful, while the cornstarch makes it smooth and thickens quicker.

[@patriotchic3364]

Why does the cornbread mix need to be stored in the freezer? They are all dry ingredients and as long as the contents are in an airtight container they should be good for a long time.

[@KeepItSimpleWithGrandma]

@patriotchic3364 the freezer is just an option, it should be good in the pantry for up to a year 😊 Thanks for watching.

[@ayakashioni1336]
