What happens when you go to the fridge and realize you're all out of ketchup or ranch dressing?

For most people, a trip to the store is in their future, but not for Smith. She just whips up a new batch while dressed to the nines.

"When making dinner tonight, I realized we were all out of our condiments, so I decided to do a little restock," she said in her viral video on TikTok. "Today, we're making some ketchup, ranch, barbecue sauce, and hot sauce."

She first started with her ketchup by combining tomato paste, honey, vinegar and water in a pot and simmering on the stove.

While letting that cool, she moved on to making her ranch.

"I like a lot of herbs in it, but you can tone that down if you want," she said as she chopped up a generous portion of parsley, dill, and chives. She added the herbs to a bowl with some mayonnaise, sour cream, and whole milk. After mixing it up, she added some fresh squeezed lemon juice, salt, and cracked black pepper.

Nara Smith Then Made Some Homemade Hot Sauce And Barbecue Sauce

Then it was time to start on the hot sauce. Smith chopped up some Fresno chilis and added some garlic to that in a pot, as well as black peppercorn, vinegar, and water.

"Then I simmered that for 20 minutes on the stove while I made my barbecue sauce," she said. "I combined the ketchup we made earlier with some brown sugar, vinegar, and some other seasoning, and letting that thicken on the stove, and once it hits the thickness I wanted, I transferred that over to a bowl to cool."

Smith then blended up her peppers and strained them.

She added her freshly made condiments to their designated, labeled containers and bottles and called it a day.

Smith's video received more than 11.1 million views and 10,000 comments.

Another added, "Seriously she really needs her own cooking show because I’m so inspired. I don’t even have the energy just to squeeze the ketchup out of my kitchen, but to make it, I’ll give you so much credit."

Another recent viral video shows how Smith made her kids a homemade copy of a popular store-bought snack.

"My kids aren't big snackers, but today they requested some Cheez-Its after seeing them at the grocery store the other day, so I decided to just make them some," she said. "These are super simple and quick to make."

First, she shredded some cheddar cheese and then added the cheese, salt, and butter into her mixer. After mixing until it was combined, she added some flour and "really cold water." Once it's all combined, she forms it into a "disc" and spreads it onto some plastic wrap before putting it into the fridge for about an hour and a half.

"After it's chilled I pull it back out, usually I cut it in half, so it's easier to handle before using my rolling pin to get it as thin as I can," she said. "And then slice it in whatever shape I want."

Smith then lined up the little squares on some parchment paper and used the end of a chopstick to put a little hole in the middle, just like the store-bought ones. They then go into the oven for about 10 minutes.
