Don’t you love it when you come across something that just speaks to your soul? As if destiny somehow strategically placed it directly where it would catch your eye? I was scrolling through Pinterest the other day and came across this quote that could not have been more fitting for me. I am currently trying to figure out how to incorporate it into my kitchen, it is so spot on!
Tell me, does this quote define anyone else’s cooking style?

“If I have to stir it – it’s Homemade!”

Aaaaaahhhh! I love it!!

If you’ve hung around this blog for very long, you know that we do something very similarly special that we call Halfway Homemade Recipes. Rather than making a dish completely from scratch, we combine a few ready or prepared items with some additional ingredients to create a meal featuring homemade appeal without the time and mess! Cooking Halfway Homemade is a great compromise for everyone!
