Why am I doing this? I recently found my Home Economics book again from junior high school. Now I took this class more years ago than I care to admit, but this was one of the ways I learned how to cook. You see when I was in junior high while you weren't mandated to take home economics you could take it. So I did. For years I have wanted to cook my way through this cookbook, and that's what I am doing. I thought I would take you along with me on this journey.

I will start with How to make oatmeal from scratch. Did you know there was a time when oatmeal didn't need to be prepared from a microwave? Granted we all have benefited from tucking a few of these in our desk while at work, and keeping a few of them around the house for when we just don't have time to cook. You can make this more inexpensively from scratch, and it tastes, yes you guessed it, better when you make it fresh.
