I don’t have time for this right now. But I wonder if you might? Here are some recipes I miss making!
None of these recipes is hard, which is why I felt that it was worth putting them into a list as a suggestion of recipes you might want to check out. These are some of the recipes I hope to make again once our little ones are a few years older!
Recipes I Miss
- Peanut Butter
- Ranch Salad Dressing
- French Dressing
- French Onion Dip
- Italian Salad Dressing
- Creamy Mac and Cheese (So easy, I just don’t have the ability to stand at the stove this long!)
The salad dressing recipes above are sooooo much healthier than anything I can find at the store. That’s why I miss making them. I kind of just “don’t read the ingredient list” on the kind I’m buying right now, ha!
What’s fun is this:
While there are several recipes on my site that I find too complicated to ever attempt again (see that list here!), I’m looking and seeing that MOST recipes are still incredibly doable even during our busiest seasons in life!
I love and make some recipes regularly. Others just have not fit in my working mom life. Your authenticity about your current limitations is so appreciated. Thank you for keeping it real.
The list of things that I have made in the past is similar to yours. Sometimes it was out of necessity (not always for health reasons)( I was a missionary to Mexico for 30 years) I do miss making all those things. Now I just don’t have the time or the help that I once had. Yes, it always tasted better (if it turned out. hahahaha ). Sometimes it was to try something new
Things that I made: We receive raw milk from a friend that had a dairy: mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, queso fresco. queso panela, another dry cheese , buttermilk, ice cream, and yogurt, the whey I would use in my bread baking. peanut butter, (we would stock up when we came to the states every summer) grape nuts (these last 2 items I could not get in Mexico. ) etc…….
I never learned how to make tortillas from scratch but my family does enjoy making “homemade” Tortillaland tortillas. You heat them in a skillet. They are SO yummy!
We serve a homemade oil and vinegar dressing that everyone loves. I make a giant jar of the dry spices to make it easier to whip up in a hurry. We have now used up the spice mix and I am very sad because I know I won’t have time to put together a big batch for a while. So, I understand the “salad dressing blues.”
