MEALS AND SIDES

You can cook meals at home even if you’re short on time with these easy recipes and kitchen know-how.

Homemade meals from scratch

Let’s face it. We’re all busy. If we’re going to make homemade meals for our family, the recipes need to be fast, cheap, and easy.

I’m here to tell you that it’s possible to put wholesome fare on the table on a regular basis without making yourself crazy. And guess what? Cooking from scratch is much less expensive than buying the supermarket version of your favorites. (Case in point: SOUP.)

Easy recipes for homemade meals coupled with a few tricks (hello slow cooker!) can help you make the switch from takeout to homemade. You don’t need chef’s credentials to make your family and friends tasty meals from wholesome ingredients. Simple will do!

Eliminate wonky ingredients. Skip the disposable packaging that comes with supermarket “cheats.” Eat well.

From simple and inexpensive white chicken chili (one of our go-to meals for dinner in a hurry) to herb breaded chicken, I’m here to help you learn to cook from scratch.
