RE: Stop Boiling the Vegetables!
One of my personal goals this year to to master cooking. I make things from scratch but it's more the traditional foods. I can make a mean taco (using homemade mix) but that's because I found a recipe online. I really want to learn more traditional ways of preparing food! Having finally gotten a stove I can work on this skill and you just reminded me to work on the vegetables!!
I'm so glad you finally got a stove! (It had been a while coming, right?) I didn't know how to cook, really, once I graduated college--it's been a slow-growing series of trial and error. I remember being terrified of trying to make homemade perogis, but now we do it all the time.
I still use online recipes as launching points, but I feel comfortable enough with how we eat that I can edit the ingredients as I go to make it appropriate food for us (whole wheat/low sugar/ etc). It will become easier and more fun as you go. :)
Haha yes! I never want to do that again. I've been cooking from scratch since I was a teen but I can't just throw ingredients together and make something yummy. I'm really attracted to meals made with whole foods that don't require a lot of spices. If you've ever seen the cooking videos from Elliot Homestead those made me want to get up and cook!!
My gosh, the Elliot Homestead. I love how simple some of her recipes are, but she makes them look so dang amazing. Maybe it's just because anything that starts with cast iron + butter is starting to become a weakness of mine, haha.
haha I just love the fact that foods are being used. Hardly any spices. All things you can make
