Do you love cooking from scratch?

Question

Hey moms or cooking queens!!!  Do you love healthy homemade cooking?  What are some of the things you do to save time on meals?  Do you food prep?  Do you make some things in advance such as biscuit dough?  What are your favorite recipes?  How do you find time to exercise and stay fit? ( if you have kids).

Answer

I love cooking and baking and I always make meals from scratch. I don't even own a microwave so because of that frozen meals aren't a thing in my family. I think it has a lot to do with how I grew up and was raised. My parents made it a priority to only buy organic and my mom would cook meals with fresh ingredients only. Yes it can take a lot of time but personally I prefer it this way. It's so much better for you and also I believe that homemade meals taste way better than frozen stuff or processed food

Answer

Not a mom,  but I love cooking from scratch. My favorite thing to make from scratch is lasagna. I don't cook as often as I used to though. Hubs prefers fast food so we've been living off of that 🙄

Answer

Enchiladas!! My boyfriend and I love Mexican food. And he loves when I cook and has a meal ready for him when he gets home from work.

Answer

One of my fave quick meals is fried rice. And I use frozen veg (peas and diced carrots) and fresh bell peppers and onions. 
It's easy and goes with chicken, beef, prawn. ☺️ 
Just make sure to use plenty of seasoning to make it very tasty.

I got a lovely recipe online the other week for Korean beef. It was delicious:

Beef mince (ground beef )

Garlic

Sesame oil

Brown the meat.

Add 
Brown sugar

Soy sauce

Salt, pepper, ginger, red pepper? (I didn't add the red pepper wasn't sure if it meant chilli pepper or not)

Chopped green onion (spring onion)

Serve Over sticky white rice

Answer

Yes!!! I've been cooking and baking from scratch since I was a kid in 4-H. I don't do any prep work. I don't plan my meals ahead, so I just make sure I always have the main ingredients for just about everyhing I can make. Then I make whatever I feel like that day. My most recent favorite is vegetarian chili and cornbread. I also love sautéed mushrooms and brussell sprouts with pasta. I haven't baked much lately, but I like to make pumpkin pie from fresh pumpkins, and I made popcorn balls for trick or treaters on Halloween. It's hard for me to make some of my favorites, like angel food cake and lemon meringue pie because I don't own a mixer. I just haven't had the extra cash to buy one, and whipping eggs by hand can be fairly tiring lol

Answer

I travel on the road with my husbands job for a living. We live in a 29ft camper, the kitchen is just not big enough for from scratch cooking 😓

Answer

Following. I always love ideas and inspiration. I used to food prep but my life is too crazy right now, and I want a deep freezer before I start up again! Lol
