Cooking from scratch is a hands-on approach to
eating. It
involves doing the shopping, doing the preparation, and blending it all
together
into an edible dish. Sure, there are ways to cut corners and save time,
but the end
result is the same-complete control and palate satisfaction.
The main focus of the Cooking from Scratch section of Foodie Mama is
to help
foodie cooks make tasty, easy to prepare meals for families of all
sizes. You
will find product reviews, tips of the trade, and, of course, lots of
recipes to
help you cook from scratch.

Growing up, my mother used to try to hide rutabaga gems in the pan
along with the roast, carrots, and potatoes. When I would wrinkle my
nose and stick out my tongue (blah) she would try to convince me that
it was actually a potato. There was no fooling me -- I know my potato;
and a rutabaga is not a potato. But I've also learned it doesn't mean
it can't be cooked like one.

This taco seasoning can be used to flavor soups, stews, chicken
breasts, meatloaves, grilled steaks and burgers, beans, burritos and
tacos of all types. Tossing some on fresh popcorn also tastes great.

 A sweet potato or two makes a great substitution for a regular potato
or two. If you are willing to think outside the box it can be
substituted for other vegetables. Like zucchini! Amazing but it's true
and the results are fabulous. Try my sweet potato loaf recipe and
you'll be surprised how this great snack or dessert will disappear
before your eyes.

 One of the main vegetables we get in our bi-weekly organic veggie
deliveries is spaghetti squash. There is just so many times one can eat
baked squash and tomato sauce before it becomes tiresome. With that in
mind I started brainstorming for other ways to use up the spaghetti
squash. Since this kind of squash tends to look a bit like a grated
vegetable when cooked I immediately thought of latkes or pancakes.

 In my effort to increase my vegetable intake I have resorted to adding
them my smoothies (blended fruit, juices, and ice) on many a
recommendation. I have had a successful run of adding kale to my
smoothies and have now moved from leafy vegetables to rooted ones --
specifically the beet root.

 If you are not familiar with Shepherd's Pie it is a casserole with a
beef bottom and a mashed potato topping. I call this recipe the manly
meal because it is something my husband will often request. I'm not a
fan of ground beef but having mashed potatoes on top definitely makes
up for it.
