So true. From family/friends over the years, some of the most useful (and used) cooking tips I've learned were ways to take store-bought basics and doctor them up with homemade ingredients, add a dash of this/pinch of that, to the point of absolute unrecognizability or something close to it. Major timesaver, and if you do it right, nutrition levels are pretty close to scratch.[this post was last edited: 7/3/2014-18:32]
