This weekend I ventured into the world of sourdough and made my first sourdough bread. I also made sourdough popovers and sourdough waffles! I’ve never made butter or cheese I’d love to try!
I’ve made my own butter but never my own cheese. I have kids with milk allergies. I could make them fresh goat cheese, which they can have!
wouldl ove this
i’ve always loved baking since i was a little girl. everything i make is from scratch, this prize would be a nice to win
Good luck to all
Thank you for the generous giveaway! I would like to learn how to make my own cheese because the store varieties oftentimes have chemicals, GMOs and additives. Having two young children, I’d like to offer them the best — and in the case with cheese, a product made at home.
When I was growing up my Mother made butter and cheese, buttermilk, cottage cheese..
I have never done that myself. I did learn to make her sourdough bread though. I would love to learn to do this myself
How fun is this? I love both butter and cheese, so making them from scratch would be terrific!
We made butter in kindergarten (1960) at Harding School. We ate it on saltine crackers. I still remember how good it tasted. Would love to try it with my grandson now.
We were reminiscing about butter-making, chicken-plucking, etc., and a grand-niece asked if we made cheese. No, but with this prize we could make new family memories.
I have recently completed a cheese making class. I have made mozzarella twice for the family and used it to make wonderful pizza. I would love to make even more cheese. I am now drinking raw milk directly from a Jersey Cow and I use the cream on the top to make butter. I would love this kit as I am ready to use it.
Always wanted to try this ……. would LOVE to make my own butter and cheese….
I love the idea of making food from scratch to know what organic items I added to make my wonderful cheese!
I love to cook and bake from scratch, I find it calming and it gives you a sense of pride and accomplishment.
I would love to make my own butter and cheese….new to all of this but love learning new information on eating cleaner and healthier Thank You
I like to make just about everything from scratch so that I can control the ingredients that go in to my family’s food!
I tried my hand at some home made jams this past weekend…took me back to my childhood days…lots of fun….
I love food from scratch because you know what is going in it. And it always taste better.
we make our own wine, beer, and jam. Would love to make cheese!
Making food from scratch is the best way to know what you are putting into your body. It’s easier to be healthy and mindful of what you are eating and where your food comes from when you make food from scratch. And, it nearly always tastes better!
wow, another facet of food to explore.
My Mom always talks about how they made their own butter when she was growing up,now I can try it.
How FUN!!! Would so love to win this and try making my own butter and cheese for my family! It would go great paired with the homemade bread I have been teaching myself to make! MMMMM…..
I like to make food from scratch because that way I know what my family is eating.
We grow and raise as much as we can, and making my own cheese and butter would be a great way to go even further.
What a wonderful gift – would love to make my own butter and cheese.
I like to make things homemade because I know what goes into them!
I recently made a Guiness cake from scratch with Baileys icing and I have been experimenting with making various other things from scratch that include making a cheese sauce it would be awesome to make these sauces with my own cheese,
Our family loves crock pot applesauce and we make strawberry/banana jam every summer. This summer we are going to perfect our own mild and hot salsas.
In addition to cooking, I love fresh bread and all sorts of cheeses. I have recently developed food allergies and have started making more homemade items. Bread and cheese are the next things to tackle on my list! I don’t think anything could be better than having fresh butter or cheese – that you made yourself – on fresh bread. I can’t wait!
The reason I like homemade meals, because I can control what goes into the foods. I’m a Diabetic, and some of the books I have it seems as though you have to buy out the whole store just to make the recipe. I can’t a ford it… I used to make my own butter,when my kids were growing up and I had a friend who had cows, but that was then this is now. I can’t find anyone who has cows to buy the cream. My mom made Cottage cheese all the time. But her recipe was in her head, and so was my grandmothers. That’s one recipe I wish I did have… But yes, I would like to really try making my own cheese and get back to making butter.. I hope you can help.
I love to make food from scratch because it tastes a whole lot better. I have recently become interested in making my own cheese because I think it would be nutritionally better and also because I love to cook and I use a lot of cheese:)
Love cooking from scratch. The only way I know. I ave made homemade buttermilk, and butter with whipping cream. This sounds amazing.
I love making homemade cheese. It is hard to find fresh Paneer in US(indian cheese), grocery stores only sell frozen and making fresh cheese reminds me of Mom’s cooking back home in india.
I was brought up making homemade food. I love to cook and by making my own I know what is in the food. I hate using boxes of anything.
I have been researching food additives due to recent health issues and have been wanting to try cheesemaking for over a year now. I would love to win this prize and get started.
Hi, since my husband passed away I have been forces to eat on a shoestring budget. Mac&cheese, hot dogs, etc.. I have not had a lot for food but now I have very high cholesterol and I have to change my diet. I am trying to do everything natural. I am getting chickens to raise this spring.
Thank’s so much Myra
We try to keep away from ‘processed’ foods as much as possible, lots of ‘scratch’ cooking and mostly ‘fresh’ fruits and veggies. the kit sounds great!
I love making food from scratch, it has a better flavor and the best thing about it, you know where it is coming from and what you are eating. A good sense of self worth in the process!
I like making from scratch because it is cheaoer in the long run and I know whats in it!
I love using our own eggs plus knowing what’s going into the food.
I enjoy making food from scratch because I know what ingredients are in the food. I handle all ingredients safely too, to ensure everything is fresh and wholesome.
enjoyment comes from starting from scratch and ending with the comments of how wonderful and holesome a meal can be….i have not tried to make cheese from scratch but would love to add this to my way of cooking…my five children and five grandchildren watch grandma mimi cook and bake from scratch and i want to pass this craft onto them….thanks for the opportunity
Preparing foods from scratch means I control the ingredients I want to use. I use the foods that I can trace the source, or grow my own chemical free vegetables & fruits.
Would love to make my own cheese. Have made my own butter before, and love learning how to make new things.
Making food from scratch appeals to my perfectionist tendencies. I like knowing exactly what went into my food and what the process of making it was like. I also enjoy the process of making from scratch…there’s something so satisfying about starting with basic ingredients, and then through the magic of yeast creating bread. Such a feeling of accomplishment.
I’ve never made my own cheese before, but it sounds like fun! Also, I’ve wanted to make my own butter ever since I read Little House on the Prairie as a child. So help me achieve a childhood dream?
I haven’t made butter since I was a little girl and went to a historically tour in Galveston. I would love to make it again and to have to opportunity to teach my daughter would be wonderful. I’ve never made cheese but think it would be fun experimental with my daughter.
My sister got me started on this. It is great fun!
I like homemade because it is fun and tastes better and doesn’t have unhealthy additives. I’ve made butter and I’ve been wanting to make cheese.
I love cooking from scratch because I find it relaxing
I like to make food from scratch because I know it is wholesome, and very tasty, and my husband loves my cooking!
Homegrown or homemade is always superior to store bought. We should all strive to make more of our own products from scratch. I make my own butter all the time and look forward to making homemade cheese!
I have made homemade butter before using a jar. We sis this with students and they loved the taste..Homemade is always tastier.
I like making food from scratch because its fun, a learning experience that can be passed down generations once perfected. I also like knowing what goes into the foods I eat, healthy or unhealthy, it doesn’t matter.
Homemade just tastes better than store bought or from box or package. Fresher ingredients always seem to go into homemade from scratch and also purer and healthier ingredients. Would love to win this since I use so much butter and cheese.
I like homemade because I just love to cook and the food turns out so much better than store bought.
I like to make food from scratch because it is fun! I know it is now politically correct to say how much more healthy it can be (not so much for my homemade Ginger Snaps yesterday) but grinding cinnamon and grating fresh ginger and seeing how all the ingredients come together can’t be beat.
I love cooking from scratch. It makes me feel great to know I am creating healthy meals for my family without all the preservatives.
Would love this!
I like to make things from scratch because I know what’s going in my food. Plus the majority of the time it’s so much better for you than food packed with MSG, preservatives, etc from the freezer section.
I like to make food from scratch because I am a chemist and really enjoy the entire process from start to finish. Cooking is just a fun lab experiment with tasty results!
I love to make things at home.
I grew up with not from scratch food so it gives me deep satisfaction to cook from scratch!
I love making everything from scratch because then I know what ingredients are going into what I’ve made. I’ve always wanted to try making my own cheeses.
I live cooking and have since I was little. I recently started makinghomemade beer bread. So ready and delicious to. Homemade butter and cheese would be awesome with it.
I am so used to eating “from scratch” food, that I get a weird aftertaste from processed food that kind of ruins the meal.
Mostly I like the challenge. It’s also really interesting to see how certain foods come about and fun to see how some processed/packaged foods are really easy to make on your own.
I love to cook from scratch so I can control what I eat. No chemicals or artificial ingredients if I can help it!!
All my food is made from scratch, because it tastes better.
I like to make organic pizza dough from scratch
I like to make food from scratch because my son and I have health issues and I can control what in in the food. I can limit the ingredients that are not good for us and many times secretly add “good for us” ingredients and my family is none the wiser. It’s fun to experiment and come up with new dishes to feed my family.
Food made from scratch always taste better as I am sure cheese and butter would taste better too without the chemicals and additives. Thanks!!!
Number one it tastes better. Number two there is just something so great knowing that you made something from your own hands. Getting the kids involved also gives them a sense of self accomplishment.
I love the idea of making my own cheese and butter as I know what is going into the results and I can control the kind (from) milk/cream that goes into what I make. In general making things from scratch is how I prefer things, same reason, I control (and adjust) what goes into what I make. All my sweets are less sugar (and the best chocolate, grin). I never buy from grocery kitchens or a baker I am not sure of.
Foods made from scratch not only tastes better, but because there are so many ingredients out there that are not “heart-healthy”, I prefer to make them from scratch! With having family members with different nutritional requirements and many many more restrictions, I feel a lot better knowing what is actually in a recipe!
it would be so wonderful to serve meals to my family that contained homemade butter or cheese!!!!
I’ve been making my own foodstuffs for so long that my daughter got a huge surprise in the supermarket when she saw that it was possible to buy a box of pancake mix. But I’ve never tried to make cheese. Can’t wait to do it!
I like to make food from scratch because I know what is in it!
I love cooking from scratch because then I know what is going into my food. I learned to cook and bake from my mom, who is no longer with us, and she made it fun. I then turned around and taught my children in the same manner she taught me – fun. I am now teaching my granddaughter to cook and she thinks it’s so COOL to cook with her nana. What could be better?
It’s very satisfying making fresh food for my family.
This sounds really cool,Everything is better from scratch.
I like to make food from scratch because I not only enjoy the process, but I can control what goes in my food.
I love making as much of my own food as possible simply because it is fun and I enjoy it!
We grew up making “gifts from our kitchen” with our own mother. Evokes some pretty wonderful memories of trying new things, creating “new recipes” out of necessity, naming our new creations, and belly-laughing over some real “flops from our kitchen” as well.
i like the idea of making things from scratch because it will be made free from preservative and additives that is harmful for the human body.
When you make food from scratch, you have control over the ingredients going into that item and you can be comfortable knowing that there are no preservatives, trans fats, msg or any other “bad” additive in your food.
My reasons are health reasons. I am allergic to alot of additives so this would be a great help.
Now that I am semi-retired, I finally have the time to spend on making my own wholesome, preservativ-free foods & I am having the time of my life!
Something I have always wanted to do.
I like to know what is in my food and have been reading up on cheese making.
I was recently diagnosed with Lyme disease and have started a gluten free, sugar free, lactose free diet and might cut out dairy all together. I’ve noticed things bother me that didn’t use to and I’ve really enjoyed experimenting with new foods that fit my new diet:) it challenging but that’s part of the fun!
I love to make food from scratch because it tastes better than prepackaged foods. It’s healthier, and I like the process of making it–especially bread! Homemade butter on warm homemade bread=amazing!!
Butter and Cheese are two things that make my toes curl!
LOL, that’s the wife’s department
I prefer to cook my own food, I don’t mean reheating a precooked/packages chemical laden stuff. Following the directions on a recipe is basically very easy. I have purchased over a hundred cookbooks at yard sales, so my selection is endless. For the most part I usually enjoy all that I cook. And lately I have been inviting friends and family over to try the meals I cook. Ingredients are easy to find and vegetables in season are always a good bargain. Who could ask for more? The BIG plus is I enjoy cooking more now than ever.
For me, it is a challenge….Very excited when it turns out great….
I love knowing what is in my food and where it comes from so I love making things from scratch. It is a better taste, better nutritional value and I can be more creative with my meals.
I like making my own yogurt
I think in my previous life, I must have lived in Wisconsin….I love all things dairy and would love to try my hand at this!
I’d love this!
I love making food from scratch because it always tastes better and is healthier for you!
I have made Marscapone cheese which was pretty easy but have not tried any others – certainly not butter – but sure would love to give it a try.
Not only do I cook from scratch because I love to cook, but also to ensure a better quality of food for my family. Better to control the salt and sugar and starches and additives yourself.
I have always loved cooking from scratch and taught our four children to also. I love the feeling of cooking as generations of women(and men) before me in my family have. I love the feeling of taking a little something and turning it into a nourishing meal I feed my family. I also love to grow as many vegetables and herbs as we can so we have fresh at our door. And of course it is the most fun to cook with children and watch them as they taste the fruits of their labors. It is such quality time well spent. In our home all cook. My husband is a great cook as is our daughter and grandsons who are here with us now. Our other three children regal us with their cooking skills when we see them too. It is all so much fun.
Beacuse, it is just plain old-fashioned good FUN !!!!
I would love to try my hand at making cheese and butter. Sounds like my kind of fun!
The reason I love to cook from scratch is that I know exactly what is going in my family’s food, without fillers and preservatives, and it tastes so good!
this would be a great addition to our return to self-sufficiency movement. We are currently increasing our already huge garden size to make additional room to raise food for Food Bank donations in our area. Now that I am retiring, I will have much more time to devote
Making butter and cheese from scratch is on my to-do list. I love to bake and cook from scratch. Thanks for the contest.
We’ve been trying to eat healthier since the beginning of the year, and have been losing weight and feeling better because of it; we also know it tastes better and is cheaper in the long run.
I have made homemade butter before and just love it! I think that it would be fun to be able to make homemade cheese as well. I also love to try to make things from scratch. They seem to taste so much better.
I learned to cook from scratch from my grandmothers. Things always taste better. Unfortunately, I have been sucked in to boxed mixes but would love to get back to scratch cooking again.
I love cooking,and baking from scratch my grandmother would let me watch her when i was a small child.And now my granddaughter likes to help me.
My grandkids love to cook with me, and even though they are little, I encourage it and give them age-appropriate tasks to do. Making food from scratch gives them more ways to participate. Making butter and cheese together would be such fun!
I would love to try this! My sister and I were just talking about our MawMaw churning butter when we were kids.
everything tastes better when made fresh-plus you know whats in it
I love to cook from scratch. I can control the fat, sodium, sugar and calories. I use a lot of organic foods. I have make my own butter using whipping cream and a blender. It makes a big difference in the quality of the food. To be able to make my own cheese and butter would be heavenly. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water!!!!!!
I like to make stuff from scratch because then I know EXACTLY what went into it. I don’t want a lot of preservatives and artificial flavors and colors.
I like knowing where my food comes from and homemade or homegrown taste so much better!
sounds like a good way to save money.
What a wonderful adventure to have with our grandchildren. I did this with my Grandmother growing up. We started with the milking of the cow. What great memories this would make.
I have both vegetarian and a lactose-intolerant children. WOuld love to be able to make cheese and butter that they could eat w/o any problems.
It just tastes better
its fun to cook from scratch. you know whats in your food.
I have 2 grandchildren – ages 5 and 7 – who LOVE to be in the kitchen and make things. This would be a great learning experience for them – to see how gramma used to make things!
I have always loved food from scratch since my grandmother always cooked this way and we use to make butter and cheese and process meat for the winter I would love to win this since my grandmother is long gone and it would remind me of the good times we had when I was a child.
I like making my own food because it’s cost-effective, fun, and I fear it’s becoming a lost art among young people my age!
We like to make things from scratch for the purpose of knowing what is in it. Also, it is great family fun to learn and be together.
Cooking from scratch is a lost art–Lucky for me I had a grandmother who believed every woman should be able to throw pie dough together in minutes or even bread dough. I learned a lot from that grand old Lady that I try to pass down. And people don’t realize it is still cheaper to make your own anything from SCRATCH–;)
Anything from scratch is better. I love cooking all of my food as much as possible from scratch. I have friends who have farms and i get my vegetables from them. Cooking from scratch has more love in it. It’s made from the heart.
It is so much healthier knowing your own ingredients that make up your own butter and cheese endless possibilities hmmm.
I make carrot cake from scretch have done for years. I bought some to a friend’ s afetrnoon tea and after her third slice was asked where I’d bought it. I felt wonderful in telling her I made it we spent the afternoon swapping stories about home economic classes at school and our grandmothers and which were the better teachers.
Everything is better for you if you make it from scratch without any chemicals!

I have never made butter nor cheese from scratch,however I am always looking for challenges and this would be a good one.
I would love to learn how to make my own cheese and butter. Currently I grow alot in my yard and can it every summer. I also can my homemade jam. I make homemade bread.. but making butter and cheese would add to all this. It always gives me the feeling that I am giving a little something extra special to my family.
I have made cheese before, what we call “queso fresco” but I have never made butter and would love to try.
I like knowing exactly what ingredients are in what I’m feeding my family, that’s why I like to cook from scratch!
30 years ago we had a farm and I made butter, for our home made bread, I made the jelly that we had with fresh eggs for breakfast, we butchered all of the meat we ate, grew all of the produce, and milked our cows. There were only a few things I had to pick up at the store. I always wanted to learn how to make cheese, one less thing I would have had to buy.
To me when you make something from scratch it shows love to those who enjoy it with you. I love the way that recipes taste when you don’t use prepackaged ingredients but use the stuff out of your garden or other natural ingredients.
I have returned to home cooking as much as possible. I have never tried butter or cheese but I would love to. I am looking return to making all I can healtier and homemade.
Hi there. I mainly cook from scratch. Its healthier, as you know what is going into the food you prepare. It gives you an open field, in that you can decide what you want to make as compared to what is available commercially. It is cheaper than buying all fast foods, and by making your own food you can control allergins (ie the nuts, or milk, eggs, etc) that may be in a food. You can “fine tune” food to your likes, ie more cheese, spice, onions, etc, or less, and add your own amount of spice to make the recipe “perfect”. I have made butter from cream before, but not cheese, so this would be fantastic! Thank you for this oppertunity!
Love making things from scratch and would love to learn how to make my own homemade cheese and butter.
I love making food from scratch because I know is in them! I also have control over flavorings salt and such.
I try to make as much as I can from scratch-jam, jelly, bread, pizza dough, even egg noodles, to name a few. I like to control what ingredients go into my food. Making butter would add to my list, and the thought of homemade butter on fresh bread right out ot the oven is making my mouth water just thinking about it.
I worked in a cheese factory after high school, 30 years ago. Everything tastes better with fresh butter and cheese.
I tastes much better and to be very proud that you made it
My husband was diagnosed with cancer in January and i wonder how many cancers are from the preservatives in processed foods. I grew up with grandparents who were all farmers so they grew their own food and always cooked from scratch. That was passed down to me although i did take advantage of our fast food society. Now i am committed to cooking from scratch for our health!
I worked at a cheese factory 30 years ago. I really miss baking and cooking with fresh butter and cheese. This looks so fun!
I believe most of us are wanting to learn to get back to basics and winning this butter and cheese kit would allow me to do that much easier. Thanks for the opportunity!
I make a majority of our food from scratch. It is important to me that meals and snacks are as healthy as I can make them since my husband has diabetes and heart problems.
I have made butter but never cheese. I must add to my bucket list. It keeps the brain active to learn something new every day.
I love to make food from scratch because it always tastes better. I enjoy the process of creating delicious food in my kitchen to show my love for my family!
I came from France where we have a such good bread…i missed it so i try to cook my homebread and i have been surprised by the results. It’s great! Different but i am pretty proud of the results.
I do almost all of my cooking from scratch, not only is it healthier because of no preservatives, but it’s extremely economical. I really have a hard time using any boxed mixes, except for an occasional cake mix. Cooking from scratch is what I’ve done since I was 6 and had my own little baking cupboard!
I love spending quality time in the kitchen making things from scratch. I just have a greater sense of accomplishment when I know I did it all myself.
I am a diabetic and need to know what goes into the food I eat ie: carbs, sugars, and calories. It can be monitored by cooking from scratch. I also enjoy cooking
This would be fantastic !! As a young lad I would always followed and watch my grandmother in the kitchen as she would make and teach me how to cook from scratch. She would make cakes, biscuits, pies, and milk/butter-milk and cheese all from an old “milk churn”. WOW! What fun and beautiful memories this brings back. The beauty of cooking from scratch is that you can eliminate most or all of the additives and preservatives which makes for a more healthy and tasteful entree or meal. I try and cook from scratch as much as possible as my time will allow and it gets my children involved to try and learn some of the pass down recipes from my grandmother. Would love to try and make homemade butter and cheese for my family !!!
I love cooking from scratch because that’s how my mother, my grandmother and every woman who has ever loved me and cared for me has cooked – It’s a wonderfully healthy way to show someone how special they are. I would love to win this gift because my father was an original Wisconsin Cheese Maker and making cheese and butter was in his blood!
I love making things from scratch. I like knowing what is in my food.
When I was young I would pull up a chair and watch my Grandmother cook, she made everything from scratch and all of her food was so good.
I’ve developed a food allergy that prevents me from eating anything refined or overly processed so I’ve been making more and more things from scratch. Not only does it taste better but it’s really better for my whole family. I know exactly what I am feeding them now.
I love to make my food from scratch because I know what goes into it and it tastes better.
I love to cook from scratch because I care a lot about what my family eats. The more natural an ingredient list is, the better… Not to mention it feels good to make something from scratch and be told it is amazing!
Just took a leisure learning course for cheeses, this would be wonderful to go with my new knowledge
(To page owner: I hope this is not posting twice, my computer decided to update as I was typing!)
I love to cook from scratch for the health benefits that it gives me and my family. Having no added chemicals or preservatives is fine by me. Not to mention that it feels great when I make a meal from scratch and am told it’s delicious!
I make my own flavored oils from my gardern. I also love making my own flavored butters. I love making anything from scatch, it the time & love you put into cooking that makes my family happy. I think that the longer it takes & the more steps it takes, the better things teast!!
We tap our maple trees to make our own syrup, we pick berries and fruits from local sources or our own gardens to make jams,jellies and chutney along with making pickles, relishes. Making our own butter and cheese just seems like it would be a wonderful progression. Plus it’s nice to know what is going into your food, it tastes so much better and we also gift a lot of our homemade creations to family members during the holiday. We have been talking about trying to make our own cheese…this would certainly push us to do it!! Would be another fun family activity with yummy results to share with the rest of our family!
I like to make food from scratch because then I know exactly what ingredients my family is eating.
Love to make things from scratch. I remember my maternal Grandmother making her own cheese and cottage cheese. My grandparents had a dairy farm and cooked very primitive on an old wood fired stove. It would be nice to have the same feel that she had making her own cheese and butter.
I bake from scratch but have never made my own butter or cheese. I’d like to learn though.
Thank you.
I love making these by scratch because I feel they are authentic and real, not all this processed “stuff”!
Making food from scratch is part of my foodie-mania:) On a recent trip to Alaska, I brought home sourdough starter given to me from a bakery in Juneau. I begged flour for it everyday and fed it to keep it alive. Now it makes the most amazing breads! In the Summer,Fall and Spring, I can,freeze and dehydrate veggies and fruits.I love to try jams and jellies from the bits and pieces of fruits that I get from our trees. Our new adventure is a bee hive for our own honey!I would love to try making our own butter and cheese for our delicious sourdough bread.
I enjoy creating dishes my family enjoys without all the preservatives that are in the prepared foods you buy, I make butter and am learning to make cheese, I make my own lotions and salves and am getting ready to make a substitute for vicks without the camphor. Love doing things myself.
Every day major companies like Monsanto are making large contributions to our law makers. In return, every day our lawmakers allow more and more GMO’s, excitotoxins,and new creative names for poisons like MSG to be placed into store bought foods. I am trying to learn how to grown and make truly healthy and organic foods for myself and my family.
We love cooking from scratch because it is healthier and cheaper to make. Plus, we then know what everything is that goes into it.
I like to cook at home for several reasons. 1. More food for the $. 2. I get to choose what I want to cook. 3. I get to decide how I want to cook it. and 4. Home is a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere.
By making things from scratch I can limit a lot of the additives and preservatives that are piled onto processed foods. I have been a member of our local farmer’s market I buy duck eggs for the best baking results, fresh eggs, fruits and veggies are a must in this household. Learning something from the kit/book in this giveaway really excites me. I use milk from a local farmer also(YES I am aware the controversy over using milk not processed and illegal to sell or feed animals……government has too much say so for me)
I like to make my own thing so it dont have all the the nasty stuff that store bought stuff has in it
I like to make food from scratch so that I know exactly what’s going in to the food that I’m eating and I add my own twists to recipes!!
i like to know what’s in the food i’m eating and serving my family. there’s nothing better than a dish or meal made with love from scratch.
I like to make food from scratch because it is my way of being creative. And if I make a cake, someone compliments me on it…I want to say I made it, not Betty Crocker.
I have worn out 2 bread makers from excess use
so a new one would be great especially at the beginning of the gardening season. Herb seeds are started. garden planned, can’t wait for fresh herbs and home made bread.
I love making food from scratch, that way I know for sure what is in it! I am vegetarian and have a granddaughter who has Celiac Disease so it is very important to me to know what is in the food we are eating.
I can remember making Butter with my grandma when I was little. It’s a tradition I would love to revive with my grandchildren to give them a sense of where their food comes from and how it’s made.
