Easy Homemade Noodles

Easy Homemade Noodles

Some people hear homemade noodles and assume it will be complicated. At least I did. I was picturing a complicated dough, hard to cook perfectly, some magical mixture that I couldn't master. But is it? Nope. This is one of those things they really should tell us in high school: you only need 4 ingredients: egg, milk, salt, and flour.... Read More

Perfect Homemade Wheat Bread (& it works for sandwiches!)

Perfect Homemade Wheat Bread (& it works for sandwiches!)

I love bread. Who doesn’t? Especially homemade bread. The small fills the house. Warm from the oven, smothered with butter. Yum. But THE debate is (of course) white versus wheat. I prefer white bread. (I highly recommend you try my “Perfect Traditional Homemade White Bread"). For years my husband has been asking for wheat bread he could use for sandwiches. I... Read More

Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice: Cheap & Easy

Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice: Cheap & Easy

'Tis the Season. No, not that season. The season for everything "Pumpkin Pie Spice" flavored. Though even I must admit some of the options available are ridiculous. I saw (online) pumpkin pie spice Pringles & butter. I seriously hope it's a joke...but am afraid it is not. Rant done. Back to making your own homemade pumpkin pie spice. It's cheap.... Read More

Never Buy Green Onions Again!

Never Buy Green Onions Again!

Yes, I’m serious. You never, ever have to buy green onions again. I thought this idea was crazy. That there was no way it was ever going to work. But I said to myself: “Self, part of your job as The Housewife Modern is to test stuff…so let’s give it a try.” It’s easy, takes practically no time. But just… Read More

Stop Buying, Start Making: Homemade Apple Pie Spice

Stop Buying, Start Making: Homemade Apple Pie Spice

Apple Pie Spice isn’t just for apple pie. I actually use it in multiple recipes/items, especially the oatmeal I make in the morning. So I was thrilled to find this because I couldn’t actually find apple pie spice in any of the local stores! They had it in South Carolina…but apparently not in Washington? Along with the recipe, I've included a... Read More

13 Ways to Use Your KitchenAid Mixer (without buying extra attachments)

13 Ways to Use Your KitchenAid Mixer (without buying extra attachments)

I was browsing on reddit the other day and read that I could use my KitchenAid mixer to shred chicken. I read that and thought, “There is no way that works.” But I tried it: I threw the entire cooked chicken breast in the mixer, put on the paddle, and turned it on. A minute later I had shredded chicken!… Read More

Perfect Traditional Homemade White Bread (& it works for sandwiches!)

Perfect Traditional Homemade White Bread (& it works for sandwiches!)

I love bread. Love as in “I could devour an entire loaf with butter in a couple of hours” love. So it’s no surprise that I have a homemade white bread recipe that is delicious. I tried out a few. Then got tired of trying recipes that seemed the same…but not good enough. So then I started studying bread itself- the ingredients,... Read More

Homemade Cajun Seasoning

Homemade Cajun Seasoning

Homemade Cajun Seasoning. You will never, ever buy store-bought again. This super-flavorful homemade spice mix is amazing. When/where to use Cajun Seasoning- while the options are limitless, here are my favorites. • Smoked Sausage & Shrimp Jambalaya • Gumbo (obviously) • Over fish (brush with oil, then add a bit of seasoning) • Spice up ground beef- burgers or (I’ve...
