How to Cook from Scratch When You Don’t Know How

Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies

This month’s Eat Well, Spend Less theme is getting back to the basics, and over at Easy Homemade I’m sharing a bit more about my journey and how I finally gained some confidence in the kitchen:

Although I dreamed of being the perfect housewife and stay-at-home mom — keeping a clean, organized home, cooking healthy, delicious meals…and always with a smile on my face — none of it came easily to me. Least of all the cooking part.

I truly hated to cook, but it wasn’t the actual cooking I hated; it was the not knowing what I was doing. I had questions about every single recipe I tried (at the time, “Google it” was not part of my vocabulary, so I called my mom…every night). And I ruined a ton of meals, which I also hated, not just because it made me feel like a failure but because I was wasting so much food in the process.

Head over to Easy Homemade for the rest of my journey, my Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies recipe and a special offer!
