Do any of you like to cook from scratch?

And if so, what did you last cook? And what do you think you will cook next?

The last thing I cooked was pot roast in my slow cooker. The next thing I’m going to cook is chicken cacciatore in my slow cooker.

One time when I was much younger I cooked a whole batch of chocolate chip cookies from scratch. I can’t remember what I did with them, but knowing the sweet tooth that I have I probably ate seventeen of them and threw the rest away.

I cook from scratch once a week with my granddaughter’s help. It usually makes enough for 3-4 helpings. I put some in the freezer.

How can you throw away chocolate chip cookies? My sweet tooth is such that I wouldn’t have been able to do that.

Sometimes I do, but often I take the easy route and eat packaged foods.

The one thing I always make from scratch is spaghetti, never use store-bought, though lately I’ve been using canned tomatoes instead of fresh.

I made it just a week ago; usually I make it with crumbled ground beef, rather than meatballs, but this last time I made it with Italian sausages.

Hell, I used to make my own pasta from eggs and flour, even stuffed pasta, but I haven’t done that in years.

I’m making a sausage, tomato, spinach and celery soup for my dinner tonight. I’m very excited. Tomorrow I will have barbecue chicken again.

About half of what I make is from scratch. Last thing I made, or helped make, was butternut squash tortellini with sausage and red sauce.

The next thing I’ll make is tonight we’re making chickpea curry.

I cook most things from scratch. Cheaper and better. Currently doing butterfly porkchops for supper. Roasted red peppers stuffed with wild rice and roasted carrots to go with.

It took a lot of willpower, but I keep myself on a strict regimen of diet and exercise.

No mixes, or premise anything. You make it with all the single ingredients yourself. Did I explain that well enough @Leaf?

but you can use canned goods, like beans and sauces?

I would like to know that too.

I used to make Chicken Corn Chowder around this time of year and Chicken and Dumplings.

But I used canned stuff for the chowder like cream of mushroom soup and canned corn.
