23 Years Ago, I slowly started to change my entire life with a box of Hamburger Helper.
I grew up in a busy family where my dad worked night shift & mom didn't cook. Hamburger Helper was a fancy homemade meal on nights when dad was home.
So, as a new wife and mom, I wanted to start cooking. I wanted to feed my family healthy food & started reading ingredients. I started with each "flavor" of Hamburger Helper.
With a box in one hand, I started writing the grocery list of "real" food that I would need to replace that box. It was really intimidating at first to cook from scratch. Recipes scared me to death! I could never make my Grandma's Lasagne. But, I could make Hamburger Helper Skillet Lasagna! I just needed a tomato sauce, noodles, ground beef, cheese & some ricotta with sour cream!
I could never make Grandma's Cheesy Noodle Casserole, but I sure could make Skillet Mac & Cheese! Its easy, Ground Beef, Noodles, Cheese & maybe some spices.
These baby steps with a box of Hamburger Helper in one hand have helped me grow into a cook that loves simple one pot meals!
I use recipes like an ingredient list and a suggestion of how I might make something! I'm now a confident cook that uses all real ingredients and rarely walks through the center aisles of the grocery store! I use meats from our freezer with fresh veggies from Blue Gate Farm, or frozen veggies from the store. I also an avid canner!!
If you would have told me 24 years ago, that I only use real, local ingredients; I would have thought this was impossible!
I would have had a list of excuses a mile long.
Start with where you are.
Start with local, whole ingredients.
Buy quality food and it will stretch farther than you imagine.
Cook an extra portion and freeze for a lunch or leftovers.
