The last thing I made from scratch was pancakes. I love them and they're really easy and fun to make so I coo them often.

I was never really taught to cook as my mother hated cooking. In the last 5 years however, as we struggled financially, I taught myself how to make all sorts of thing like pastry, bread and sweets. The last thing I made was a delicious white sauce using butter, flour, milk and cheese to go with bacon and pasta! Now i'm proud of my accomplishments :)

The last thing I made from scratch was an omelette with bacon, spinach, mushroom, onion and chilli. Then I melted the cheese into the folded omelette and it was amazing!

The last thing I made from scratch was a loaf of whole wheat bread. I love making bread and I bake a fresh loaf about once a week. The whole house smells wonderful while it's baking.

I made a chicken stir-fry the other night for dinner. Instead of the frozen veggie bags, I got everything fresh and made the sauce from scratch. Very tasty and I felt better about eating it instead of something pre-made.

I made low carb/Keto bread. It wasn't dense at all, very light and the taste was very good!

Well, not counting tonight’s pan-cooked salmon or last night’s grilled cheese (I’m recovering from the flu, so meals have to be easy right now) my last thing from scratch was mixed berry cobbler. Both my husband and I got the flu a couple of weeks ago and we needed comfort food, so cobbler filled the bill. I use a from-scratch recipe that is super-simple and easy, so I didn’t have to put a lot of work into it, and it makes enough to last a few days.

Brochette - it is my specialty
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!” HST

Just made a recipe from Minimalist Baker : one pot spiced lentil and sweet potato soup. It is so good!

Everything I do is mostly from scratch. We dont use much of canned food or readymade sauces. So everyday cooking is healthy and hearty

I always love making things from scratch! The last thing I tried to make was chocolate! I actually used cocoa butter and powder. I say that I "tried to make" because it did NOT turn out well.

Cook from scratch?? Well, I never had one. But asking my favorite to cook? Pork with soy sauce.

Cooking from scratch is the way to go :) The last thing I made was Indian Butter Chicken! I like to add lots of diced onion, pepper, and homemade tomato puree to my base. I like to grow lots of tomatoes over the summer and freeze them so that I can use them in 'from scratch' recipes over the winter!

I don't even know how to call it because it was a piece of a mess. Mixed pasta, rice and spaghetti together... I still managed to finish the meal.
