i love applesauce and wish i had the culinary skills to make half of the stuff you do.
you can feel free to send me a jar of your applesauce. hell bring it to the cleveland blogger meet up!!!!!!
time for dinner!
Left over stuffed acorn squash and home-made pumpkin pie! YUM. (We're pretending it's fall.)
I'm confused about the eggs from scratch, too--got chickens in your backyard???
I couldn't do it. maybe if I had an awesome kitchen but ours is so small it's more annoying than anything.
Scarlett - PLEASE. I'd love to replace my crazy neighbors!! :)
Sarah - Oh, I'd love to live next door to you guys. How fun would that be!? Start small - just make ONE thing homemade. You can DOOOO it!
LCT - Either whir tofu OR 3 tablespoons of hot water mixed with 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed. Easy!
Shortchick - Just follow the recipe. Seriously. I'm not that great! Haha.
Renee - Hold out until after the election. You must be exhausted. You have mad political skillz.
Mrs. Priss - It saves money and is fun - win-win!
Steph - I laughed aloud when I read this. :) You're so cute!
Scifichick - Maybe I will!
Alexa - You'll know me - I'll be the girl holding jars of applesauce and grinning like an idiot. :)
Eileen - Fall here is beyond wonderful. It's true.
Auburn Kat - Frugality rules!
Kate - Yummy. Apples are great. Yep, I have a pet chicken. :) Haha. Nope, check out my response to LCT for what I do.
Maegan - You can do it! Go Maegan!
Bayjb - For real? It IS really delicious - Julia Child's recipe. Yum.
Maggie - That brownie mix sounds amazing. I am just anti-Duncan Hines and Betty. Double Chocolate and Ghiradelli? Sounds more than awesome.
Michelle - You just cook the apples - THEN mash them up. You CAN do it. I'll post a recipe today!
Tiffany - Last year we had a kitchen that was MAYBE 7' by 2'. It was AWFUL. This year we live in a regular little house with a kitchen. It makes a difference. For sure!
Shannon - Do it! :) Soup and bread - totally delicious and healthy!
Long before I was aware of the local/sustainable trend, I was making things from scratch because that's how my mom did it... and everything tastes better made at home!
Homemade bread is actually incredibly easy, even without a bread-maker. And it impresses people! I also have an awesome recipe for homemade cinnamon sticky buns that is to die for.
Although I would like to know your secret to making your own eggs. Do you keep a chicken in your yard?
:-D
you know us so well =)
hahah. i'm thinking i will incorporate MAKING THINGS FROM SCRATCH into my 30 day PLAN.
i'm going grocery shopping tonight. i will spend some time this afternoon figuring out what i want to make, and what i need, and then i'll do it. i will. i promise.
(not exactly promising to you, as much as i am to myself. i need to do these sorts of things to ensure i don't cop out ;))
And reading this makes me want to make something from scratch like applesauce or something using this region's food as presents in the near future. Hrm.
I LOVE making things from scratch too. Seriously I never buy boxed mixes, curry pastes or sauces, etc. applesauce or very many convenience foods.
We still buy the occasional thing for a treat or for AB's lunch on days we're not prepared but 8out of 10 times it's homemade. I do still buy bread though because we have no room in our teeny apartment for a bread maker, although I guess I could learn to do it in the oven.
But curious, how do you MAKE eggs? I get replacing them with a substitue in a recipe but ???
