Why I Still Cook Everything from Scratch (Even When It’s Hard)

Описание: Cooking everything from scratch can be exhausting — but also deeply rewarding. In this video, I spend the morning in the kitchen making all our meals for the day and share why I still think it’s worth it.

For breakfast, I make scrambled eggs for the younger boys and a warm bowl of porridge with pear and raisins for the rest of us. After tidying up the kitchen, I share a few thoughts about why cooking from scratch can feel like hard work sometimes — but why it’s absolutely worth it.
Then I move on to meal prep for the day:

Throughout the video, I talk about finding your best way to stay organised in the kitchen — so that homemade food fits naturally into your daily rhythm without stress. I also share how I plan meals based on ingredients I usually have to hand, using a flexible meal planning method that works for our busy family life.

If you enjoy down-to-earth homemade cooking, quiet kitchen moments, and realistic family meals, I hope you’ll find this video both comforting and encouraging.
