Summary

Cooking every meal from scratch can seem like a complicated and time-consuming endeavor if it is not part of your normal routine. In this episode, Cami and I aim to change your mindset around cooking from scratch and show you how truly simple and fast it can be. We start out by giving you ideas of meals you can throw together in a pinch without sacrificing quality. Then we dive into meals that take a little planning ahead, but don’t require you to spend all day in the kitchen. If you have a goal of cooking from scratch more this year, we hope this episode encourages you with how simple it can be and how valuable it is to your family.

In this episode, we cover:

What ingredients to keep stocked in your kitchen so you can always throw together a quick meal
Meals you can pull together at the last minute if you haven’t planned ahead
The few staple appliances that make it easy to whip up last minute meals
Some simple meal ideas that require a little planning ahead but are not complicated
How cooking meals from scratch is actually simpler than you may think
Shifting our mindset around cooking from scratch and why it is valuable
Leaning into the creativity of cooking from scratch
Practical strategies for cooking meals from scratch when you have little ones underfoot
How to approach meal times with picky eaters
Cooking healthy meals from scratch on a very tight budget

0:00.0	I think we should just give ourselves some grace. You know, we might have those really hardy, delicious,
0:04.7	nutritious meals, but then it's totally okay to allow a couple times a week for these faster things.
0:10.7	Even our fast meals are just 10 times better for us than a fast food
0:16.7	restaurant. But time and the money it just makes way more sense to throw together
0:21.5	something even if it's not you know Pinterest worthy.
0:24.8	My name is Lisa mother of eight and creator of the blog and YouTube channel
0:29.7	Farmhouse on Boone. Join me as I share with you my love for creating a handmade home
0:34.4	from scratch cooking and a little mom and entrepreneur life along the way.
0:47.0	Welcome back to the Simple Farm House Life Podcast. I had the opportunity last October to go to my friend Cammy from Tidbits, the blog, the YouTube channel, she has a
0:55.9	podcast, she's been to my house as well. We've made it sort of an annual

1:11.5	tips and one that she did somewhat recently or last year inspired
1:17.3	this episode idea. She shared her family's fast food meals. So the ones that you make when you have
1:24.3	maybe nothing thought out, nothing thought out, thought out and thought out. And I
1:31.6	found it really inspiring. There were some things that I hadn't thought of to make for our own family in those situations.
1:37.0	So we're going to talk about that today. As it's the new year, a lot of you are probably thinking about cooking more healthy, but maybe overwhelmed
1:46.0	with that. This will be a very helpful episode for you because even though we go into the year with
1:51.1	really good intentions, sometimes it's a moment of weakness
1:54.3	when we don't have something perfectly thought out
1:57.6	that we end up going back to maybe what we're used to making
2:01.1	something faster, easier. Healthy food can be fast, so let's dive in and talk about this with my friend
