Home Made

AretoNyx: I like to do home made treats such as baking but hate cooking. I like to grill but we can not since the newer laws about no grills on a balcony. Most of my family likes my home made pies.

However I can never get my husband to try things and now my oldest will not try foods. They both said they liked many things I make, but only my youngest child will eat anything. At least the youngest is honest and I make many good things.

I also make things they do not like that I do. Such as vegy soups and stews with tomatoes and onions. I just eat those myself. My youngest hates pretty much all soups besides even in cans, and else where.
I do not always enjoy making home foods but there are times it can be fun.

My husband likes to make things some times. Though many times burns or undercooks foods. Also my teen has had a hand at cooking and if it seems like to much work to her she gives up, but other things she can do well. I just hope they do not kill me with food poisoning. Lol

What does any one else think about home cooking in what ever variation?

The giant midget: Omg this is a good topic
Nothing beats home cooked meals, best is using fresh ingredients and willing to experiment more than twice and a big soup bowl of patients.
Marinating anything and everything is the secret of Taste
The salt and pepper is somewhat the fundamentals but add chopped garlic,dry tyme,fresh parsley some sliced onions some peparika and some olive oil in a mixing bowl add whatever you want your beef , pork or chicken and let it sit in all that goddess for a minimum of 8 hours
Let's just say that the marinate is foreplaying with the meats
Side dishes are the same minus the marinates . Give your simple everyday old potatoes a new life. Peel,wash ,cut in half place
In a pot with medium heat add some olive oil some chopped garlic,some diced onion,diced tomatoes, some crushed pepper sauce till light small boil add the potatoes soon after add enough water to almost submerge the potatoes , cover pot with lid and cook till almost done ,remove from stove top
Preheat oven to 275 place potatoes into roast pan splash some of the sauce from the pot on top of the potatoes ,into oven just to roast and finish cooking the potatoes add slowly the sauce with a spoon so to keep them moist
You will enjoy them
Remember that meats need to foreplay in marinates for Atleast 8 hours
