Whipped Topping

Whipped Topping (from back of Kroger Instant Nonfat Dry Milk box)

Mix 1/2 cup Kroger Instant Nonfat Dry Milk with 1/2 cup cold water. Beat to soft peak stage--about 4 minutes at medium-high speed on electric mixer. Add 1/2 teaspoon lemon or vanilla extract and beat 6 to 7 minutes at same speed. Add 2 tablespoons sugar and beat 1 minute at same speed. Serve as a topping instead of whipped cream.

Dehydrating onions

Cut onions into 1/4" slices. Put in dehydrator at 160F for 1-2 hours, then 130F until dry. They will easily break when they are dry. Store in air tight container.

Homemade croutons

Use day-old breadmaker bread or other old bread. Cut bread into cubes. Pour seasoned butter over bread cubes, mix until evenly coated. Bake at 325F until toasted and dry (about 15 minutes).

seasoning ideas: garlic, oregano, onion powder, italian spices, etc. (really anything that you want that sounds a little yummy)

For seasoned bread crumbs, put prepared croutons in blender until ground fine.

replace oil in baking

You can replace the oil or butter in a baking recipe with an equal amount of applesauce.

Powdered milk

If you have a recipe that calls for milk and you will be cooking the food (pancakes, bread, sauce), put powdered milk in instead of regular milk. You can't take the difference at all! My kids never know I do this.
I haven't tried it on uncooked foods like milk shakes or pudding, can't think of anything else right now. If you try it and it works let me know!
