What foods do you cook/prepare the "old fashioned" way?

[grinningghost]

I only use Cook and Serve pudding mix. I cook it on the stove. It tastes way better than instant mix or cooking it in the microwave - and tons better than pre-made stuff.

What do you cook "the old fashioned way"?

I will only eat homemade macaroni and cheese. Unfortunately my kids only like the kind out of the box!

I love cook and serve pudding...you can't get that yummy skin with the instant stuff (the sound you now hear is my husband gagging).

I also prefer the old fashioned rolled oats to the instant or cooks in 1 minute style oatmeal. I may try some of the even longer cooking stuff this winter.

Spaghetti sauce.

Frozen pizza. Yep, it's strictly the oven kind for me. None of that new-fangled microwave stuff!

That skin rocks! I only wish you could somehow make a whole dish of "skin only" pudding - wouldn't that be awesome?!!!

Absolutely! You have to cook it in the oven or it's pretty much like eating a sponge.

I used to make homemade pasta occasionally. Yep, that means make the dough and all. I occasionally make crackers with my grandma.

Cookies, cakes, spaghetti sauce, lasagna, mac & cheese, gravy, biscuits, ....hmmm...I'm sure there are lots more.
I love to cook and especially bake.

I would love to be a dinner guest at your house Nancy!

mashed potatoes- I would die before I let a box of instant ones in my house! Chicken soup, cookies, various quick breads.....

 

[Cindy B]

popcorn. Yes, I use a pot and a lid and some oil in the pan. No microwave stuff for me!

Come on over

We're having jerk chicken pasta tonight.
I try to do at least 4-5 new recipes a week.

Real mashed taters....and that's about it....

Steak. 'Nuf said.

 

[simba928]

Jeez, thanks to you guys I now want to make homemade pasta. Maybe someday this winter when its cold and snowing and we are stuck at home, I will make it.

 

[rhanditresmom]

All soup from scratch (well, except for clam chowder...don't have time for that any more!), mashed potatoes, cookies, pie, and spaghetti sauce. I'm kinda funny about those things...must be homemade...!

 

[solferino]

bread (make it ever other day in cooler months, but buy in the summertime); yogurt, spaghetti sauce; mashed potatoes, "french" fries; mac n cheese; lots of stuff. We raise our own chickens for meat and eggs, too.

I love bread baking, especially when I'm stressed out. I don't always like doing the other stuff, but we really prefer knowing where our food comes from rather than some factory someplace.
