I really enjoyed reading this post! Convenience really does make us lazy. It takes a lot of effort to make home cooked meals but it is so rewarding and so much better for our health as you have mentioned.
I kind of feel like you used to. I use quite a lot of recipes and ideas from blogs. I sometimes venture off into my own thing but usually go back to a recipe because I’m afraid my own creations won’t turn out as good. I’m slowly trusting myself more and coming up with my own twist on things. It was very inspiring to hear you are already outlining your second cookbook, congratulations! I need to have more confidence in that, knowing I can come up with my own meals as well.
The pumpkin butter and the jam both look so delicious! Thanks for sharing ~
So glad you enjoyed this! I still love perusing blogs and my collection of cookbooks, especially for baking. But a lot of the time now I will look at something for inspiration and then do my own take on it. When I first moved out on my own I remember calling my mother three times over the course of making one meal, crying when I sliced my finger and almost had to throw out the whole thing. I can laugh about it now and take pleasure in how much I've learned in the last 15 years of growing as a cook! I'm sure you'll continue to blossom in your own wonderful way in the kitchen. That's one of the great things about cooking--you can find your own groove and style. Happy cooking!
Wow thanks again for the encouragement. I do find a lot of inspiration in recipes and then try to make them my own. I remember crying over the stove when I first got married 12 years ago, I’ve come along way since then too! 😄
Happy Cooking!
