IMHO, doing one‘s own cooking is the key to living healthier along with some exercise. I lost 25 pounds eating my own food rather than prepacked stuff.

When dear husband and I get tired of big, heavy meals, we turn to the likes of simple and tasty dishes such as this, and we enjoy the change immensely!I never cooked in my life and it's too late to start now, since retirement it was all restaurants all the time but since the COVID-19 pandemic this has been my staple.

I feel so poor.
Oh Lewkat, I love it!!! And your son’s remark. He must love his Mom to distraction. You should start a new posting with some of your favorite recipes...wouldlove to read themJust got home from spending the holidays with my son and I cooked up a storm. He said to me, "Mom, the older you get the better you cook." Now, should I take umbrage at that one since he grew up to be a strapping and healthy lad and ate my meals like he had a taxi waiting for him? Just kidding, actually, I never make the same thing exactly as I did the last time. I create ways to make it better. Alas, my cooking is slowing down as I'll be 88 next week and don't have the stamina to spend a ton of time in the kitchen anymore. But, when I am there, it is all from scratch. No premade junk for me.
Funny thing is Kathleen, I do not use recipes at all. I cook from instinct.Oh Lewkat, I love it!!! And your son’s remark. He must love his Mom to distraction. You should start a new posting with some of your favorite recipes...wouldlove to read them
That's how I cook, too, Lew.Funny thing is Kathleen, I do not use recipes at all. I cook from instinct.
I love to improvise and create Marg. It's the only artistic talent I have.That's how I cook, too, Lew.
It's all in my head.
Good on you!I love to improvise and create Marg. It's the only artistic talent I have.
So did my Mom! I love that even more. Boy I bet they are just delicious. What is YOUR favorite meal to make and eat?Funny thing is Kathleen, I do not use recipes at all. I cook from instinct.
I make fabulous pot roast dinners. Everyone loves them. Only use rump roast as the chuck and rounds become stringy and I hate stringy meat. Also, my spaghetti sauce puts most Sicilians and Neapolitans to shame, I am told. My late daughter in law's step brother came to dinner last year for my pasta and he was floored. Rob told me that his mother is a true Italian and couldn't come close to my sauce. I also make a mean Tex-Mex Chili. While I haven't done this one in a while I make a pork tenderloin cut into tournadoes and in a pot with carrots, sauerkraut, some brown sugar, sesame seeds or even rye seeds and add potatoes at the end. Makes a great winter evening meal.So did my Mom! I love that even more. Boy I bet they are just delicious. What is YOUR favorite meal to make and eat?Whi

If you can read, you can cook.Cooking is an art & I tip my hat to anyone, male or female who puts out wonderful, healthy, delicious meals. Wish I could!
