First, you had to know my grandmother. She was a very knowledgeable lady when it came to cooking. At least, she knew the things it took to have a nice meal without spending an arm and a leg. After all, she was born and grew up in the hills of Kentucky where you made everything yourself because if you didn’t, you didn’t have it. And she was raising a family during the great depression when it was so difficult to have anything let alone raise a family. With a husband and 4 kids to feed, she had to be inventive, to say the least.

So, when I ran across a blog that had How To Cook Like Your Grandmother in the title, I just had to take a peek at it. I was impressed. Although I did not see many of my grandmother’s recipes on there I did see many that I am very interested in. Many of the old grandmothers have kept their secrets and gone on. And it’s almost a lost art to bake and cook from scratch anymore. This blog takes us back to the basics and I love it!!!

The first thing I saw yesterday was a recipe for How To Make Chili Sauce For Chili Dogs. Simple thing really but not all of us know how to make that unless it comes from a can. ACK! Now I like to make my own sauces when possible. I hate getting things from a can. This blog is teaching how to do such things. Today, I saw how to cut lettuce correctly. And baked potatoes!!! With TOPPINGS!! Oh yes! The great part is that if you do not know how to do this or, if you are like me, directions can be confusing even if they’re plain as paste, you can still follow the recipe because they have put up pictures to follow along.

This blog is a fantastic find especially for you beginning cooks. Getting back to the basics is something of an art and we are losing that art form. I recommend this blog to anyone who is looking to learn to cook or just to get a new recipe!
