Reasons to Cook & Eat At Home

appleadayblog: 'I love cooking at home because I get to put my hair up, pour myself whatever I drink I want, put on whatever music I want, and make the recipes however I want. I get to dance around the kitchen and engage every single one of my senses...all while wearing my favorite sweatpants!'

I mean if you're not convinced to cook at home after these reasons, then maybe this recipe will help. Certainly, I know that some are intimidated about cooking at home. They may not have been as lucky as some to have grown up in a bustling kitchen of mom's or grandma's or both where cooking was the heartbeat of the family. In order to allay those anxieties and maybe fears, it's important to have fail safe recipes. And, that's what this recipe is. Totally fail safe!

In order to make this recipe really simple and for those busy folks, I used a packaged seasoning mixture. However, you can certainly make your seasoning from scratch. Pickled Plum shows you how to make General Tso Sauce three different ways: spicy, regular and sweet! Check it out!
