I love naan but it's so freaking $$$!<br /> @bree72: so jealous! I was surprised how much I like venison. My husband doesn't hunt but he has friends who do. They'll give him meat in exchange for him making them venison jerky.</p> <p>We def cook pretty much all from scratch. Make our own stock, pasta sauce, bake, etc. I need to use our bread maker! What's a good site for bread maker recipes? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-items-have-you-made-from-scratch#post-375161 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 13:51:37 +0000 aprk 375161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do most things from scratch ... pizza dough, baked goods, sauce, chicken stock, etc. </p> <p>My husband made Oreos a few weeks ago which were pretty good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-items-have-you-made-from-scratch#post-375157 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 13:50:30 +0000 DpeachLu 375157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Flour tortillas.

A lot of work lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-items-have-you-made-from-scratch#post-375155 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 13:49:17 +0000 Mrs. Pen 375155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: mine are made with nuts :( sorry!! Is there a specific nut you can have? I've made them with cashews, walnuts, pecans, almonds - they can be made with any nut really. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-items-have-you-made-from-scratch#post-375132 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 13:40:05 +0000 mrs. wagon 375132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost nothing!!! Although ever since I got my kitchenaid mixer I have done most of my baked goods from scratch. Just because it was so easy with the mixer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-items-have-you-made-from-scratch#post-375107 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 13:28:55 +0000 MediaNaranja 375107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to live in a small, rural town in South America. I made bagels 1x/month because I missed them, damnit. I hoarded them too. Hell no you can't have one of my bagels. They are mine, mine damnit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-items-have-you-made-from-scratch#post-374979 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 12:28:49 +0000 runsyellowlites 374979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Lara Bars?.... I would LOVE to know how to make these, especially without nuts since I can't have them. They were the only "snack" bar I was able to have until I had to cut nuts. Boo!</p> <p>@regberadaisy: Since I'm still on my lovely restricted ebf'ing diet I make most of our meals from scratch. Sauces, chicken, soups (most canned soups have wheat in them), etc. For the most part I really like it but some days it gets old cooking all. the. time. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-items-have-you-made-from-scratch#post-374963 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 12:22:23 +0000 SugarplumsMom 374963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Wow! You're awesome!</p> <p>I'm made dashi from scratch (for miso soup) and furikake, which I'll probably never make again. Chicken stock and vegetable stock, tomato sauce, I make on occasion, but not often. Stinging Nettle soup from our scary weeds! Oooh we made our own Elderberry jam once :)</p> <p>DH's made more things, he's the baker in the family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-items-have-you-made-from-scratch#post-374946 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 12:18:38 +0000 Mrs. Bee 374946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: since we always have it on hand, i use it in place of water for most everything. charlie and olive also drink it as soup. who knew chicken stock was such a staple. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-items-have-you-made-from-scratch#post-374942 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 12:17:08 +0000 MaisyMay 374942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@alayaya: Not especially. I didn't have a mixer and did it by hand, so my wrist was sore, but with a mixer it would be pretty easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-items-have-you-made-from-scratch#post-374344 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 08:01:34 +0000 blackbird 374344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>omg homemade pretzels are the shiznits. Those are amazing. </p> <p>Homemade chicken stock is also to die for </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-items-have-you-made-from-scratch#post-374324 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 07:50:34 +0000 BananaPancakes 374324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A huge portion of our food is made from scratch. I just enjoy making things from the ground up. I haven't gotten back into it as much since my son was born, but hopefully once things calm down I can get back at it. </p> <p>Also, my husband is a hunter, so we process our own meat, grind our own venison burgers, link our own sausage (including Boudin), and make our own jerky. We also do smoked fish for dips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-items-have-you-made-from-scratch#post-374312 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 07:38:47 +0000 autumnlove 374312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on a baking kick a few years ago and made everything from scratch...bread, pizza dough, cakes, pies. Not anymore! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-items-have-you-made-from-scratch#post-374309 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 07:35:46 +0000 JoJoGirl 374309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the most exciting thing I made from scratch other than baked goods was Indian naan! That was quite a project. It came out tasting more like a hot pretzel, though. Still yummy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-items-have-you-made-from-scratch#post-374152 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 01:52:28 +0000 Boogs 374152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I should start, I've been using a ton of it lately!</p> <p>I make cookies, cakes, cupcakes, frostings, whipped cream, salsa, soups, rice, lots of stuff really. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-items-have-you-made-from-scratch#post-374109 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 23:54:10 +0000 alayaya 374109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: Whoa! Was it hard? I have no idea what that entails.</p> <p>I make my own chicken stock and I always bake from scratch. I prefer my own tomato sauce too, but we keep a jar of store bought on hand just in case. All other pasta sauces I prefer to make myself. So just the usual stuff I guess.</p> <p>I want to learn to make my own salsa or jam, but I'd need to learn how to can too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-items-have-you-made-from-scratch#post-374082 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 23:20:06 +0000 MaisyMay 374082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made mayo from scratch once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-items-have-you-made-from-scratch#post-374034 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 22:36:56 +0000 immabeetoo 374034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot of the same things others have posted but I have to rave that I LOVE our breadmaker. I would never have the patience/timing to make bread "by hand" but having a breadmaker is amazing and I love fresh bread, dough, and rolls! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-items-have-you-made-from-scratch#post-373979 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 22:12:25 +0000 Mrs. Bee 373979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hmmm i'm pretty lazy though i do cook a lot. i make chicken stock from scratch once a week. we go through it like crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-items-have-you-made-from-scratch#post-373971 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 22:09:53 +0000 boiledpnut 373971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We built a smoker and do our meat too! I make homemade mac and cheese for the holidays. I also make various desserts from scratch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-items-have-you-made-from-scratch#post-373827 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 21:26:16 +0000 pinkcupcake 373827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Wow, that's awesome!</p> <p>Post-L, I haven't been cooking much, but when I do, I try to make most of my food from scratch. It's usually pleasantly surprising how easy it is to make things from scratch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-items-have-you-made-from-scratch#post-373826 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 21:25:59 +0000 prettylizy 373826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Salsa, chili sauce, tomato sauce (I can in the fall). Most of our dinners are scratch, except for pasta, bread and sometimes broth we buy premade for ease. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-items-have-you-made-from-scratch#post-373809 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 21:21:22 +0000 yoursilverlining 373809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We make most of our meals from scratch, but for "big" items I've made pasta and gnocchi from scratch. Oh, and panna cotta! I also made tamales from scratch :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-items-have-you-made-from-scratch#post-373750 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 21:06:02 +0000 BoogieBea 373750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a smoker too! We didn't build it so that's very cool. We smoke all the time during the summer and we'll probably be smoking our turkey for thanksgiving. We've never made sausage or beer, that's very cool. I make bagels from scratch now because I couldn't get access to good nyc bagels for a while. I always try to make dishes/baked goods from scratch at least once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-items-have-you-made-from-scratch#post-373749 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 21:05:50 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 373749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hmmmm i make a lot of things from scratch. most of our bread products, homemade granola, all my desserts, soups, dressings... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-items-have-you-made-from-scratch#post-373746 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 21:04:47 +0000 mediagirl 373746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like making my own pizza dough. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-food-items-have-you-made-from-scratch#post-373716 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 20:52:57 +0000 blackbird 373716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh that's fancy! I haven't smoked my own meat, but I do almost everything from scratch. Salad dressings, too! </p> <p>But yeah, not butter, yogurt, mayo, most sauces...too much work and they go bad too fast. I've made my own bread, also...but I don't do that regularly. </p>
