Welcome to my new channel I started this week. I have been debating for a while about branching off from Anarchy Land and build a channel which will be only cooking and canning. I know we get bombarded on a daily basis with political nonsense. From that, I decided to branch off my cooking and canning videos. I will also post grocery hauls when youtube will let me post them.
Here is the list I have put together:
Scratch Kitchen Stocking List
This is a detailed list of what is needed to start the scratch cooking process. Of course, if your family health issues adjust any and all recipes accordingly. You know your families taste and budget better than I do. So always adjust recipes and shopping list to fit these variables.
