It's easy to cook from scratch

I think one of the biggest reasons people don't cook from scratch is because of time and it can be intimidating.  While cooking from scratch may take a bit more time, it's not that much. Here is what we had for lunch today: Parmesan chicken strips, roasted green beans, and strawberry potatoes (there's nothing strawberry about them. Just little and red). 

The chicken is super easy. Just cut chicken breasts in to strips, dip in egg, then in breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese with a little garlic and pepper. Bake at 400 until done. Today I used spelt flour because I was out of breadcrumbs. They weren't as tasty this way but did the job. Kiddos approved! 

To roast the green beans, wash and trim the ends of the beans, drop in a ziplock bag, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with seasoned salt and garlic powder. Dump on a cookie sheet and bake at 400.

I cooked the potatoes in the microwave. Easy and quick!
