CincyEats

Have you ever asked your grandma how to make something and she said,  “A little of this and a little of that.” I can tell you that Jess’ grandma is like this. Maybe one day I will tell you how she taught me how to make fried apple pies, it wasn’t pretty and the family still talks about it.  Since starting this blog I have realized that I don’t measure. On occasion I will, but for the most part I pour it in my hand and in the pot it goes. When a friend of mine asked me how I knew it was enough, here I was like a grandma and replied, “I just do.” In my mind it doesn’t really matter, if it isn’t enough I will just add more. If it is too much, I will remember for next time.  I don’t know about you, but I like cooking to be instinctual. So, I will give you advice that I gave my friend when she said she didn’t want to measure. The next time you have a tablespoon of something measure it and then pour it in your hand. Feel the weight and see what it looks like in your hand.  Pretty soon you won’t have to measure either.
