My family traditon for the holidays is to make noodles from scratch , they take some time to roll out , cut and dry overnight before cooking and my reciepe is with fat milk and you have to let the dough rest for ten minutes before rolling out .

I found this recipe on the Internet. It said it makes 2 servings but I fed a family of four with one batch. It is a little more work than opening a package of noodles, but they taste better.

"Vanilla extract" usually isn't made with real vanilla. The good news is that it's really easy--and affordable--to make your own.

These healthy breakfast bars provide a respectable level of protein and fiber without a ton of calories. Best of all, they can be eaten on the run. Reconfigure the "additions" to suit your fancy.... or replace the Splenda with another sweetener if you're trying to stay "au natural." This is a base recipe that can be tweaked to your taste!

Love your breakfast sausage but can't handle all the sodium? Try this lower sodium version: 25% less fat, and 1/10th of the sodium.

Quick, healthy option for breakfast sausage. I've been making these for years. One pound of ground turkey makes about 12 sausage patties.

I love Jimmy Dean's Sage sausage but with 180 calories per 2-ounce serving (and 140 of those calories are from fat) it is an indulgence. Compare this chicken sausage, which is delicious, to Jimmy Dean's and then give it a try. This chicken sausage has less sodium, less than half the calories, only 1 gram of fat compared to JD's 16 grams and over twice the protein. JD's sausage also has some undesirable additives like corn syrup, dextrose and monosodium glutamate (MSG).

Breakfast sausage that beats anything you buy at the grocer! Lean & very tasty!

I break down the 2 lbs into 1/2 lb increments to put in freezer bags. Each 1/2 lb bag makes 3 patties.

I found this recipe online using chocolate Whey Powder as I was looking for a way to make my own Frap using instant coffee. I thought it was worth sharing for sure!! I left out the chocolate syrup and replaced it with creamer.

Ditch those packets from the supermarket, and whip up a batch of this simple, tasty taco seasoning!

A super easy mix to put together and store so you can make muffins easily and for very low cost and calories! I make the mix about once a month and then store it in a big #10 can (the size of a large coffee can) with a lid. On top of the lid I put the directions for making the muffins so that even my children can put them together.

Chef Meg's homemade and natural ricotta cheese is easy to make and a fun project for someone who likes to cook.

In summertime, when herbs are abundant and fresh berries are in season, it's the perfect time to try this. You can even get the kids involved.

It looks like jam, but it's bursting with whole fruit and thick enough to eat with a fork. Serve over pork roast, on top of yogurt or cottage cheese, or on your morning toast.

Use this spice blend on any grilled meat or fish: try pork, steak, shrimp, or even salmon! You will want to make a big batch of the spice rub to always have some on hand.

Making homemade peanut butter is easy, as long as you have a good blender or food processor.

I love this spread this over whole wheat toast for breakfast with nut butter or to thicken my fall soups. My son Josh loves it with bananas. You won't believe I didn't add any sugar!
