homemade food / "made from scratch"
« on: January 28, 2014, 08:10:24 am »
homemade desserts taste much better than "store bought".
(Philadelphia) cream cheese makes a nice frosting.
homemade dressings can be creative and delicious too - "a little bit of this/ a little bit of that"
Lemon or lime make a nice salad dressing.
So does walnut oil and/or coconut oil.
we had homemade lasagna yesterday.

Just about everything i cook is made from scratch. When i grew up we did not have all these boxes and frozen meals. Most of them taste funny too me. i guess i will be doing homemade the rest of my life. I really like too cook and have been cooking since i was 10. And am now almost 71.

me too, love to cook and would always prefer this as to eating out - also, do not care for all the junk sold - if your gramdma ate it - that's a good bet you can too - if you stick with grown foods, healthier and no weight issues either... :silly:

I do my cooking from scratch, so they say.  We didn't have all the box foods that are so readily available, and I really don't like the taste of them anyway.  I was raised on a farm and my mom always made bread,(yum). I like to make dessert breads, but my meals are usually boiled or baked potatoes, meat, and vegetables with a small dessert.

I need to take the time to learn how to cook. I get to dependent on frozen meals and top ramen. I just ate some, I think it was some kind of tortialla soup, my aunt made and it was really good.

I rotate meals I make as homemade to ones partially prepared for me depending on my mood for the day. And sometimes others take their turn to cook, which is always nice.

Now that I'm retired I've gone back to making almost everything. I used to buy all my husbands cookies and cakes but now I make them all. They taste so much better.

I love to cook. A couple of years ago, I grew squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, bellpepper, and jalapeno peppers. I'd love to get a garden going again. Fresh steamed squash is so good.

There is just something about homemade cooking that you just can't replaced. Not only it tastes a whole lot better, But it saves you a lot of money. Not only that it made you feel a whole lot better about yourself. Don't you agree?

I make chili and soups from scratch but my cakes come from a box.  The last time I made a cake from scratch it looked more like a frisbee, it was so flat.

I'm very lucky - my Mom lives around the block and she likes to cook.
We get home cooked meals just about every night.

I'm a big fan of Sandra Lee...I'm all about almost homemade  ;)and I have to agree desserts 99.9 percent of the time are so much better homemade  :thumbsup:
