With so much emphasis placed on convenience and an around-the-clock mentality, mealtime has become a lost art. Today's society insists it be quick and portable. We eat on the run and it's almost a second thought with no consideration to its nutritional value. So why not take a step back and peak out those home cooking recipes that have been in our families for generations? Remember that slow cooking recipe that had the entire house filled with a wonderful aroma? Or what about those homemade red velvet cakes? It's those home cooking memories and recipes that leave us yearning for a slower paced life. Give into that yearning. Break out the crock pots and put a roast on to slow cook. Cut some carrots, peppers and onions. You know, get back to the important things; what really matters.
Home cooking recipes are as close as your mom's or grandmother's kitchen. Those treasured recipe cards with stains of some long forgotten cake batter are all it takes to have us longing for the results those recipe cards delivered without fail. Homemade pies and cakes, that special jam recipe - they're all still right where they were when life picked us up and thrust us into a non-stop cycle of work and more work. Home cooking recipes are the perfect solution for all that ails us.
Home Cooking Recipes Passed Down
Some of the best gifts we receive are those treasured family traditions and with those traditions come the home cooking recipes that can have us wishing we were kids once again. And even if there are few of those treasures, why not start your own traditions? Discover your own favorites. Allow your children that priceless gift of home cooking recipes that will allow them to think of simpler times when Mom and Dad stood over the stove together preparing a stew or grilling those hamburgers that they've waited so patiently for to discover that one secret ingredient. Each time they knead pead or make those yummy sugar cookies, they'll be taken back to a simpler time.
It's up to us to ensure those recipes remain family favorites. One look at those worn cards in your mother's handwriting is enough incentive to ensure your own children have their own cards in your handwriting to treasure through the years. Home cooking recipes, whether they're simple ingredients for pancake batter or that special Thanksgiving recipe that made it to the dinner table each year, without fail, are far more valuable than any material things we could receive.
