My husband and I have discussed for sometime now about eating healthier and stopping the habits of eating stuff from a can, or things which have ingredients that we can't pronounce, especially those with 13 syllables.
The first and most obvious change I could think of was to start cooking meals from scratch. From scratch means cooking with non-prepared ingredients, to me. I started searching the internet for recipes that were "from scratch" and found that a lot of these meals and desserts called for pre-prepared items. This infuriated me. So, I went to the bookstore, thinking that they have to have some "from scratch" cookbooks, right? I scoured Barnes N Noble and turned up not one cookbook that had meals in it that weren't strictly Vegetarian or Raw Food diet books that had meals from scratch.
So, I've returned home, armed with one of my mother's cookbooks, a few websites and blogs which I've marked as favorites, and I'm here to post my recipes (as I perfect them), experiences of cooking from scratch, and hopefully satisfactions of cooking from scratch.
