Make it from Scratch
I like to make things in my kitchen, with my own to hands, that many people buy at the grocery store. This doesn't mean that it's a slow process, it's just about being more mindful about your food and enjoying the process as well as the taste. I have an index of all my recipes, but I've added this list because I want to encourage everyone to try making some of their staple foods and pantry basics from scratch. It's fun, it's (usually) cheaper, and it is immensely satisfying.
