Homemade Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup Recipe – the best homemade cream of mushroom soup for casseroles, sauces and soups! Easy to make and so much better than from a can.

Comfort food season is upon us and I am so excited for it! Cream casseroles, soups and sauces will appear in our meal planning. I have the perfect homemade version of a canned classic that most likely is in our pantry. This Homemade Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup is a must-try DIY recipe.

I love DIY recipes for pantry staples like a cream of soup. They are so much better than the stuff from a can and so much healthier for you since it’s made from all-natural ingredients. Use this cream of soup in any recipe you would typically use the canned version.

How to Make Dried Herbs at Home – learn a super easy technique and stock up on your favorite dried herbs two ways: air dry and dry in a microwave.

DRIED HERBS AT HOME

I love fresh herbs and buy them often. But it’s also nice to have jars of dried herbs on hand. But I find myself often searching through the spice aisle in my grocery store to no avail. Especially when it comes to dried dill for some reason. I can never find it! So when I got my hands on a fresh bunch of dill, I knew I wanted to dry part of it to store in a spice jar or a cute little Weck jar. Use to make my delicious Creamy Dill Chicken Pasta or the super easy Garlic and Herb Roasted Chicken and Potatoes.

RICE KRISPIES PIRATE TREASURE CHEST

Now that we have a boy, my Hubby is happy to be done with castle cakes and ready to go all in into boy themed cakes and treats. He designs them, I bake and together we assemble the pieces. When I told him that I need to make a party treat in either fairy or pirate theme – he voted for the pirate theme. With both hands. Can you tell he was excited? 🙂 Both of my boys love pirates!

After a little brainstorming, we came up with the idea of using rice krispies treats for two reasons: I have been making RKT’s for the last two weeks and they are so easy to cut and stack and eventually build something from them.

Enter Pirate Treasure Chest. You may also like our Halloween treat: Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispies Treats made with pumpkin marshmallows or my holiday fave: Peppermint Rice Krispies Treats. So good!
