106. Cooking From Scratch: Expanding Your Recipe Box Without the Stress

from The Farm Family Table⏐Homesteading, Homemaking, Christian Mom · host Jocelyn Jennings

I think almost every mom who is trying to cook more from scratch runs into this at some point: you get comfortable with a handful of meals… and then you kind of stall out. You have some great recipes, but when it comes to trying something new? It can feel mentally exhausting or just plain risky. Like if this recipe doesn’t turn out, that’s dinner and there aren’t a lot of second chances on a busy Tuesday night with hungry kids. In this episode we talk about how to expand your recipe box without stress. Not by turning your kitchen into a test kitchen or trying five new Pinterest meals a week. But by working on  growing your confidence in the kitchen, learning how to tweak what you already know, and building a solid repertoire that works for your real life. If you’ve ever felt stuck cooking the same five meals on repeat, this episode is for you.
