It's so easy to make your own seasonings! |
Manufacturers know that - and make a lot of money off of it!
But, maybe you need to control a certain allergen. Maybe you want to eat all organic, and find that you have trouble finding these things in organic forms. Maybe you're frugal and don't want to waste money. May you'd LIKE to waste money- but just can't right now. Maybe you'd rather have the freedom of not running to the store so often. Or, maybe you're a strict Vegan, and want to be sure that you're avoiding all animal products.
Whatever the reason, it's easy to whip up your own sauces & seasonings. And, spending a wee bit of time making these things when it is convenient for you can save you a lot of time, health & money in the long run.
