I am having so much fun cooking! Admittedly most of the recipes are not of my own creations, but they sure to turn out pretty good! I do alter the recipes sometimes to adapt to my family's tastes! Several of the recipes I have been trying have been very inexpensive to make. Plus I listen and look for great deals in the grocery store. For example, my sister-in-law told me they had a 5 lb bag of red potatoes at vowels for 99cents! I jumped right on that! I found a great recipe online for a "baked potato salad" and made it for dinner tonight. Everyone loved it!
I have always wanted to learn how to make my own pasta. Have you ever gone to a real Italian restaurant? The pasta there is always so amazing because they make it themselves! So I have found a few recipes online for homemade pasta. I can't believe its so simple! Its just flour, salt and eggs! There are plenty of different varieties, like spinach pasta, but I think I am going to try this one step at a time. On top of the homemade pastas, I also found some great sauce recipes. I'm going to try some tomorrow night.
Chris is really loving my new found curiosity and energy, lets just hope we aren't buying all new bigger wardrobes anytime soon!
Mmm spinach pasta!!! And thanks for the info on the potatoes at vowells! We are always loving to save an extra buck!
ReplyDeleteI just want to let everyone know the homemade pasta, homemade alfredo sauce and homemade french bread turned out AWESOME!!!! And it really wasnt that difficult! The only suggestion I would have for someone else trying it for the first time is to start making it early in the day! We didn't get to eat dinner until 9:00 last night! But the food was delicious and the kids had fun helping me make the pasta! I'll be glad to share the recipes if anyone is interested!
