Homemade Brown Sugar
If I had a dime for every time I have run out of brown sugar when I was cooking and baking, I would be a wealthy woman! Since both Mike and I spend quite a bit of time in the kitchen, we quite often will run out of items needed for our recipes. I try to keep a running list on the reusable shopping list but too often one of us will forget to add to it.
I was all set to enjoy my oatmeal for breakfast yesterday morning. I was craving brown sugar on my oatmeal. I hit the pantry scouring for a new bag because the brown sugar canister was empty. I guess the hubby used up the last of the brown sugar and had not added it to the shopping list. GRRRR! I was not a happy woman, ha ha.

Store remaining brown sugar in an airtight container.
I love that the internet is so full with information. This recipe will save me when in a pinch. It seems so frequent that I run out of kitchen staples and need something to save me. This was one of those recipes. I love it! It tasted the same as prepared brown sugar.
Do you find yourself running low on items when you are in the middle of cooking or baking? I wonder if you have a meltdown the way I do, ha ha.
