Home Cooking is Easy, Cheap and Tasty!

September 18, 2010 By Cindy Silver

Home cooked good
Making your own stock is a snap!

What’s so great about home cooking?

Trying to do more home-based cooking is a smart decision. By doing this, you and your family will enjoy more flavor and richer nutrition. Not only that — you will feel a powerful sense of pride in what you serve on the breakfast, lunch and dinner table. Everyone does, including the kids!

How can I get started?

Getting started in your kitchen is easy. You will need a few pots/pans, utensils, an apron and simple  menu planning and recipe resources. Now, take a deep breath and give it a try!

Here’s one easy, cheap, tasty recipe to try

Homemade soup stock is an ingredient in many healthful recipes. To make it, simply fill a large pot about halfway with water. Then, wash and trim 2 cloves garlic, 1 large tomato, 2 stalks of celery, 1 onion, 1 turnip, 2 parsnips, 1 handful of fresh parsley. Cut everything into chunks and add to the pot. Add 2-3 grinds/shakes of black pepper and a pinch of salt (optional). Cover the pot with a lid and heat the burner to medium-high. Once it boils, reduce heat to low and simmer the stock for 45-60 minutes. Cool stock. Measure it into 1- 2 cup, covered containers, label, date and freeze. It’s that easy!

Grocery List for Homemade Stock: Garlic clove, tomato, celery, onion, turnip, parsnips, fresh parsley.
