Cooking & Recipe FAQs

Don't worry, we've got you covered! Every recipe on myhomemaderecipe.com shows the serving size, and you can easily multiply or divide ingredients to match your needs. Just remember: when adjusting portions, cooking times might need a little tweaking too. For example, a double-batch of cookies might need an extra minute or two in the oven!

Of course you can get creative! That's what home cooking is all about. We've included handy substitution tips in our recipe notes - whether you're out of buttermilk (use milk + lemon juice!) or need a gluten-free alternative, there's usually a way to make it work with what you have on hand.

We're in the process of adding detailed nutritional information to all our recipes! While not every recipe has this info yet, we're working with certified nutritionists to provide accurate details. Check back often - we're adding new nutritional breakdowns every week.

Turn your leftovers into tomorrow's treasure! Let food cool completely before storing (but don't leave it out longer than 2 hours), use clean containers that seal tightly, and label everything with dates. Pro tip: store soups and sauces in portion-sized containers for easy reheating. Most dishes stay fresh for 3-4 days in the fridge, or up to 3 months in the freezer.

Meal prep champions, rejoice! Most of our soups, stews, casseroles, and baked goods are freezer-friendly. Look for our 'Freezer-Ready' badge on recipes, plus we include specific freezing instructions, portioning tips, and the best defrosting methods to maintain flavor and texture. Smart freezing = stress-free cooking!

Master pasta like an Italian nonna! Start with plenty of water (at least 4 quarts per pound of pasta), add a generous pinch of salt once it's boiling, and stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
