    My big one is classic Italian sauces for lasagne, bolognaise, etc. So so so simple, cheaper and taste a million times better than the jars! The jar sauces always taste of sugar and just generally rubbish and i dont care what the adverts say, that is not classed as home made! lol, rant over :rotfl:

    Making own pasta is a bit more tricky but once you have the hang of it, easy peasy!

    I would be interested to see if anyone has any ideas about removing cat hair from clothes when washed???

    Also agree with soups, curries, pizza etc - so much healthier too.

    Removing pet hair - try using slightly damp rubber gloves. A rubber brush is even better.

    I found a brilliantly easy mix to make pizza bases - scone recipe - it's so soft and tasty - whole family loved it - I'm not one for yeast type recipes at all, so this scone one is my type, EASY!
