Michelle says: When I first found out that I had been given the opportunity to contribute to Home Ec 101, my mind jumped straight to sewing. You see, being obsessive precise comes fairly naturally to me, and I have always enjoyed working with my hands. The very first time I saw my great grandmother hand …
Heather says: I’d like to thank Bobbie for helping out with the name of this quick beef skillet, I was staring at it last night and drawing a blank. This ground beef cabbage skillet recipe will feed six, more if you serve over cooked rice or noodles. Feel free to play with the ingredients as …
Bobbie says: Lately, Home Ec 101 has been focusing on cooking basics, and in my opinion, Scalloped Potatoes are about as basic as it gets when it comes to side dishes.

Heather says: I’m not the only one getting into this whole back to cooking basics idea. Over on the Home-Ec 101 Facebook Fanpage, Home Eccer Lindsey decided to play around with this week’s Simple Philly Skillet and used what she had on hand -smarty lady!- and shared the results. She shared a whole album of …
Hello, Home Ec 101! I’m so glad I found you, considering the poor grade I got in school in the class. I’ve managed along over the years, honing my sewing skills, cleaning skills and, ahem, well the cooking part still would get a well-deserved C. Anyway, I need help or suggestions. My beloved husband was …
Heather says: I want to introduce everyone to Michelle. Michelle, this is everyone. Do you remember back around New Years when I mentioned that I might be looking to add to the contributors here on Home-Ec101.com? Well, Michelle took me seriously, much to my delight. And as an added bonus she actually sews -something that …
