Rising up on a farm and my mother cooking meals from scratch. She used what she had available to make a meal. We additionally had a backyard and canned what we grew. My mother made numerous yeast breads (together with award successful cinnamon rolls!) One other reminiscence that involves thoughts helps within the college kitchen as an 8th grader. I bear in mind studying extra concerning the bulk preparation of meals and the significance of meals security. We all the time needed to put on a hairnet to serve! - What meals all the time makes you smile?
Mashed potatoes and gravy - What’s a go-to meal at your home that’s tasty and simple?
Stir-fry, I like that I can burn up greens that I’ve available, both contemporary or frozen. We use hen so much and typically beef.

The freezer is your pal. I’m pleased with the truth that I don’t waste numerous meals. If we aren’t in a position to make use of one thing earlier than it goes dangerous, I’ll freeze it to make use of later. For instance, if I’ve just some berries left, I’ll freeze them to place in a smoothie. I additionally peel ripe bananas and freeze them to bake with or use in smoothies. Frozen grapes are additionally actually good! I purchase meat in bulk after which put it in smaller packages and freeze. I additionally lower hen into strips for hen tenders or to stir fry or lower chunks of beef for kabobs earlier than I freeze it so I simply should thaw it once I’m prepared. - What’s your favourite Spend Good.

Turkey Vegetable Quiche, it jogs my memory of hen pot pie, a consolation meals once I was a child.
