Cooking from scratch saves big. Plus, you know exactly what’s in your food. I’d love to make my own seasoning mixes. Any recipes or websites I should check out?

Thanks for the Cooking During Stolen Moments link. I hadn’t heard of that site yet and it looks like just my thing. I love cooking from scratch, but appreciate quick and yummy dishes.

I cook often, but we get into eating ruts. To help with that, and to expand my easy meals, I found one of those simple dinner in 20 minute cookbooks and started working my way through it. Ok, so most of what we tried we won’t make again, but I learned how to make a great vegetarian risotto in 20 minutes thanks to that venture. Even my husband who dislikes rice, likes the risotto.

I love to cook. I don’t cook from scratch as much as I should, but I am working on it.

Great tips! I too enjoy cooking at home and find it’s not as hard as many people think… it just takes a little time, and the more you do it… the less time it takes.

When I think about my first attempts at scratch cooking, it makes me almost laugh out loud. My family was very tolerant! But now, there are very few things I don’t make from scratch. Just a little research and a little trial and error.

Cooking doesn’t have to be hard or time consuming, but it really does save money. I have a list of Low Cost Meals on my blog and they are all very easy to make.

Sawmill gravy

I take one pound of bulk sausage and brown. I then add (dont drain off the little bit of grease) flour so it is pretty thick. I start with about 1/2 cup. It will be very pasty. Now slowly add milk. YOu can use up to 2 cups but you have to add a little bit at a time 1/4 cup each time. Cook on medium and stir frequently. When it is the desired thickness to your taste, add some Mrs. Dash and a tad of salt and pepper. It is our families favorite over homemade biscuits.
I use pepperidge farms sage sausage.

Enjoy
