Shortening Powder

If you haven't jumped on the bandwagon of shortening powder yet you are seriously missing out.
This is one of the newer additions to my food storage and I Love Love Love it!

I should probably start by saying that I am not a huge baker.  I consider myself to be a decent cook, but rarely do I bake.  Shortening makes its appearance in my kitchen most often in biscuits.  We love biscuits.  But then the hubs decided it was better to make them with olive oil and the shortening container was left, unopened, for who knows how long.

Until one day when I needed some for a chicken pot pie crust recipe.  Any of you ever experienced the look or smell of rancid shortening?  Ew... to say the least.

Anyway, I was super annoyed; both at the thought of throwing food away (even if its bad - because I'm a freak like that), and because I had already made the filling for the pot pie.

Enter Thrive Shortening Powder:
