Scratch?

Have you ever got to feeling good enough to fix a dish from “scratch?” Well, it’s actually fun, if you know what your doing. It’s fun if you get things all set up ahead of time. Going looking for something, when your in the middle of mixing doesn’t make for a good outcome. I’ve been in a hurry many times, grab for things, mix them together, and what a mess. You’ve been there, I’m sure. It’s just not going to work, if the eggs aren’t beaten, or the butter and sugar haven’t been creamed. Imagine that! They all go in the same bowl, mixed together, so why can’t they work right, just this time?

It’s very nice to have a food dish, turn out right. Especially, when you work so hard to make it from “scratch”. You hope that it tastes as good, complementing your efforts. But those biscuits, can get really hard, can’t they?  I swear, I could knock someone out with mine. Just can’t seem to get it right.

I have had times that I threw something together, and it came out wonderful.  I keep thinking back wondering just how I did it? Maybe if I could remember I could do it again. Ha, ha………the jokes’ on me, it will never happen again.

So, it’s back to the conventional way and reading the recipe the right way.

Babies Love Food

I’m sure your asking me what I’m doing writing this type of post. Just imagine, how much more fun your baby can have eating the food your eating.

If you can eat it, your baby can. At least the babies, that are already eating “baby food” will be able to. Rather than pay all those expensive prices for baby food, just pop some of the meat or veggies in the blender, with a couple of teaspoons milk and puree. They can enjoy the same food your eating and develop a better sense of taste.

Sure you can have the jar baby food to take with you when you aren’t at home, but use that as a substitute. Cooking at home for the family, gives the special pleasures of smelling the aroma’s. If your baby associates the smells with eating, then it will be all too ready, when the food is offered.

Pureeing the food, gives it the smooth texture of regular baby food. So, why not let your baby enjoy a meal right along with the rest of the family? It’s a good way to interact and give your baby the same pleasures, you get from sitting down to a good meal.
