Processed foods might not be a staple at our house, but definitely a plus! Here a favorite story of Jacks from when we first met. It was a Sunday afternoon we were at a friends house (Diane, Jiane, remember Beth?) We wanted to make au gratin potatoes with our meal but I couldn't find a box of them in the pantry, so I told the group it was a no go since we don't shop on Sundays.
Jiane said we could make them from scratch and I said, "You can't make those from scratch. Don't you need the powder?"
Jiane said we could make them from scratch and I said, "You can't make those from scratch. Don't you need the powder?"I have come a long way from eating cold cereal for every meal and thinking all cooking and baking must start with a bag, mix, or box. My children might not know what an ironing board is, but at least they know brownies can be made without a box.

I could eat Mexican every meal too. We mixed last nights enchiladas in with our eggs this morning and had huevos rancheros.
I love that don't you need the powder. I had a roomate who didn't know you could make cake with out a mix.
Well, mine know what an ironing board is, but I'm sure they think all brownies come from a box! Oops! Not much comes from a box around here, but there are a few things I take shortcuts on!
I wish I could say that I make everything from scratch, but guess what? I don't. And I just barely came to terms with the fact that it is still a homemade meal even if all the ingredients had to be opened.
I like to make things from scratch. I scratch my head as I read the instructions on the box.
Jiane! That is hilarious! I don't remember that story. Maybe I wasn't there since I probably would have just gone to the store. Your tostadas sound delicious! Mmmmm. I love Mexican food too.
Yeah, my kids don't believe that homemade mac and cheese is mac and cheese at all.
