Cooking every meal from scratch can seem like a complicated and time-consuming endeavor if it is not part of your normal routine. In this episode, Cami and I aim to change your mindset around cooking from scratch and show you how truly simple and fast it can be. We start out by giving you ideas of meals you can throw together in a pinch without sacrificing quality. Then we dive into meals that take a little planning ahead, but don’t require you to spend all day in the kitchen. If you have a goal of cooking from scratch more this year, we hope this episode encourages you with how simple it can be and how valuable it is to your family.
In this episode, we cover:
What ingredients to keep stocked in your kitchen so you can always throw together a quick meal
Meals you can pull together at the last minute if you haven’t planned ahead
The few staple appliances that make it easy to whip up last minute meals
Some simple meal ideas that require a little planning ahead but are not complicated
How cooking meals from scratch is actually simpler than you may think
Shifting our mindset around cooking from scratch and why it is valuable
Leaning into the creativity of cooking from scratch
