To her, having leftover roast for a pie or hash was convenience food! <br /><br />I got out of the habit for some years. As a working parent with two kids and a husband who also cooked, my rhythm was disrupted. As the children got older, more and more I found myself cooking from recipes 'for two'. Every meal was standalone, and involved singular grocery lists, and by the end of a week we'd have lots of unused half-jarsful of ingredients or cooked leftovers in small amounts that eventually went into the trash. <br /><br />Then late in the game, we had a third child and I became a stay at home mom. As this child has joined us at the table, I've rediscovered cooking big on some days in order to cook small on other days. Relearned how to think of food as a long term plan, not a meal by meal series.Nil Zedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17520824032188190823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233354112291865912.post-11340874376832097172012-03-07T14:38:15.670-05:002012-03-07T14:38:15.670-05:00I like CL on Facebook.I like CL on Facebook.White Toast with Butterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13814051183393727864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233354112291865912.post-7691255405686038032012-03-07T14:37:56.011-05:002012-03-07T14:37:56.011-05:00I follow you on twitter @icywit and I tweeted the ...I follow you on twitter @icywit and I tweeted the giveaway.White Toast with Butterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13814051183393727864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233354112291865912.post-40972131633897754352012-03-07T14:37:15.353-05:002012-03-07T14:37:15.353-05:00I would love to win a copy of Adler's book - I...I would love to win a copy of Adler's book - I try to cook with economy and grace as well - not wasting food, not rushing through the act of preparing the meal...enjoying the ingredients.White Toast with Butterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13814051183393727864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233354112291865912.post-1338212097172156632012-03-06T12:34:48.730-05:002012-03-06T12:34:48.730-05:00I think I'll definitely be using the dough rat...I think I'll definitely be using the dough ratios.

I have 5 kids and my husband and I eat GF and have been learning more and more about how to cook good healthy food for family and myself. I am looking forward to knowing more about cooking vegetables in different ways. I love to make meals my family likes that I feel good about them eating. Thanks for the chance to win this book!

I feel like I am now starting to develop economy & grace in the kitchen. I am far more diligent about cooking with what's in season and finding local farmers & purveyors with high quality ingredients... as far as grace, I'm def still honing that trait!!Chrissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09118504719814329836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233354112291865912.post-56533623553011745942012-03-05T20:02:00.646-05:002012-03-05T20:02:00.646-05:00I cook with food I've grown as often as I can,...I cook with food I've grown as often as I can, and as locally sourced as possible otherwise. I also use cooking tools (spoons, in particular) that have been passed down to me from my mother, and to her from her mother. The spoons are worn down from stirring. And so I bring those women into my kitchen adding their love to the love I put into the dishes when I cook.Joan Starrhttps://twitter.com/#!/joan_starrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233354112291865912.post-28509595454316020642012-03-05T19:18:40.363-05:002012-03-05T19:18:40.363-05:00I always try to cook with economy, by re-using lef...I always try to cook with economy, by re-using leftovers in new ways and using up scraps and dying vegetation in stocks and soups.

I've cultivated a knack of making dinner out of whatever happens to be in the fridge. Mostly I like to think my weekday cooking is just smart shopping, but I refuse to go to the market more than once a week. If I don't have an ingredient, I'll either substitute, or change my dinner plans.Bethhttp://www.boston2berkeley.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233354112291865912.post-53168833218411490222012-03-05T09:52:37.076-05:002012-03-05T09:52:37.076-05:00... and I jumped through the facebook hoop, again ...... and I jumped through the facebook hoop, again for an extra shot at Tamar Adler's book...alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18391518269613728994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233354112291865912.post-36881597148269956732012-03-05T09:44:28.804-05:002012-03-05T09:44:28.804-05:00I followed you on twitter (and @tamareadler!

I think I already practice some of her suggestions for rolling one day's leftovers into another day's meal, but I can't wait to read the details.<br /><br />I cook at home just about every day, and economy and grace come in both with my selection of ingredients (mostly from the farmers market, which provides the blessings of real food) and by not letting anything to go to waste (for example, veggie scraps go into the freezer to be saved for making stock, after which they are composted).alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18391518269613728994noreply@blogger.com
