contains less than 2% of paprika, dextrose, dried onions, spice, caramel color, yeast, annatto (color), and natural flavor.salt (which we have in ours but you can control it!!).enriched wheat flour (wheat flour, niacin, iron, thiamin mononitrate Vitamin B1, riboflavin (vitamin B 2), folic acid).partially hydrogenated soybean and cottonseed oil.What’s in store bought that you need to know? Shake and Bake at the store usually has partially hydrogenated soybean oil in the the mix…that’s something we should be trying to steer clear of.I think homemade Shake and Bake mix is far more delicious…really!!.When you make it yourself, you will always have it on hand and you don’t have to run to the store!.It’s far more economical to make large batches of your own jar of homemade shake and bake rather than buying it at the store.So, if you make it the first time and you’d like to cut the salt, you’re the boss applesauce so you do you!! Below I give you a few more reasons: Why make a homemade version when you can just buy a packet at the store? But the bigger reason to try to create my own homemade version was to give you guys the ability to change the spices (and salt level) to your liking.

It wasn’t until I got older and realized there were things I couldn’t pronounce in that little package. My mom, an Italian immigrant, wanted us all to adapt to the Canadian lifestyle so she would often buy us things she saw on television (not gonna lie, it was pretty awesome!!). I was that kid that would LOVE to go shopping with my mom and literally have a freak-out when we passed anything I saw on television (yes, marketing to kids works )). I’m not 100% sure what the age range is of people who come visit the blog is but, if you are like me and lived through the 70’s, you will remember all the commercials for Shake and Bake.
