homemade food / "made from scratch"

[plennis]

I do a lot from scratch and a lot of semi homemade.  The more I can do for us the better it is, healthier and cheaper.  Plus the flavor is usually better.  We also have big gardens, all of our flower beds are now garden areas, we do still have flowers too.  But a lot of the vegetables grow at different times than the flowers. We have also made some of our side yard garden too, so I freeze lots of extra stuff in the summer for use all winter.  I also have a garden window that I grow most of my herbs in all year round.

homemade desserts taste much better than "store bought".
(Philadelphia) cream cheese makes a nice frosting.
homemade dressings can be creative and delicious too - "a little bit of this/ a little bit of that"
Lemon or lime make a nice salad dressing.
So does walnut oil and/or coconut oil.
we had homemade lasagna yesterday.

i agree that they do but I am also too lazy to made homemade food all the time
like i usually didnt have lasagna unless one of my family members made it
but i just found this really great italian restaurant and they made really good lasagna so im okay with it

I love to cook, and make meals from scratch, saves money, I control the ingredients and it is a win- win in my opinion.

I am making more homemade stuff since the closest place I can get food outside at lunch is not that great.  I do enjoy baking.

I love to cook. We don't eat out except when we are out of town. My husband have some health issues when he eats foods that had lots of salt. Most foods in the restaurants and fast foods are salty.

I agree homemade anything is much better! I do lot of homemade cooking in my home and it's much cheaper than going out to eat all the time and healthier too.

Home made food always taste better than the store bought.  Home made food doesn't have any preservatives in them.

 I agree that homemade food taste so much better than takeout. For me, I seem to stay full and satisfied after I eat homemade food. As for takeout, I'm often hungry again in about 1 or 2 hours later.

In the last few years, I've been cooking more and watching Food Network TV. You can learn a lot from watching those different cooking shows.

Now I cook my big meals on Sunday and eat the remaining left-overs for lunch throughout the week.
