Homemade is Always Better

shredded-chicken-in-red-sauceI can’t think of anything that isn’t better when it’s homemade, from scratch. Sometimes, when I’m tired of cooking, which translates to “tired of washing dishes” and we go out to eat, I’m always reminded why I cook at home. Everything homemade just tastes better. Here’s what I cooked this week…

  • Spaghetti with shredded chicken + salad & garlic bread
  • Oatmeal muffins
  • Turkey chili with crusty rolls + salad
  • Double chocolate chip cookies
  • Peanut butterhow-to-make peanut-butter
  • Peanut butter cookies (they’re all in the freezer)
  • Vegetable fried rice with salad (working on Asian ginger salad dressing)
  • No knead whole wheat bread
  • Egg salad
  • Double chocolate almond biscotti
  • Sheet pan chicken & vegetables (this time with red potatoes & green beans)
  • Vegetable cashew stir fry (still not perfect 😣)
  • Taco salad
  • Chocolate pudding

I’m reducing sugar so most of our desserts are a cookie or sometimes, I have one or two of my chocolate clusters. I bake and freeze cookies all the time so we can always have something sweet after dinner. These days,  homemade pudding seems a bit extravagant. 😋

    I first discovered you many years ago, and it’s been a long time since I’ve revisited your site because some recipes of yours made an impression in my memory. I’m so glad your site is still around and that you’re still sharing here. Thank you for your generosity. Your genuine care stands out, and it’s so refreshing that you’re not like other foodies seeking profit. I am so grateful for that; you’ll never know the lasting impact you’ve made. My children are old enough now to try out your recipes and also learn about their father’s Polish culinary heritage. Thank you, from Down Under.

    I really am thankful for the recipes you’ve shared.
