I rarely use packaged food, I tend to ignore recipes that call for ingredients like canned soups or dried onion soup mixes. I like fresh ingredients and to cook traditional meals in healthy ways! Check out my blog http://thehousewecallhome.blogspot.com/ homemade bread, roast beefs, roast pork, pork chops, chicken, apple crisps, corn breads & muffins! Oh, and homemade fries! I lived in Northern Ireland as a child so Irish cooking is a big part of what I like to cook. I also tend to cook traditional meals that usually include potatoes in one form or another. Dumping two lemon meringue pies, one right after the other all over the oven door!
