I have always cooked from scratch ...Totally agree!!<br />I have always cooked from scratch as my mother and grandmothers did...I just couldn't justify paying for processed or convenience foods when it could be made for a fraction of the price and I love knowing exactly what my family is consuming. Takeaways are a very rare treat as in maybe twice a year. <br />We had a veggie patch in NZ thanks to my parents and it is something we are attempting here with little success at the moment.<br />Living as self sufficienly as possible has always been a dream of mine that I hope one day will be reached.<br />I love your garden, it's brimming with goodness.<br />xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948397622243147877.post-66837172758737536772011-04-06T09:00:21.355+10:002011-04-06T09:00:21.355+10:00Kudos! I wholeheartedly agree.
Your garden and...Kudos! I wholeheartedly agree. <br /><br />Your garden and children are lovely! This post makes me happy. We need all the children like yours we can get!<br /><br />I know that we have had similar gradual movements in this direction at our household over the past few years. We are certainly better for it. And, I love it! I love my (sometimes) challenging life. The challenges from canning to figuring out where to hang clothes to dry on a rainy day, are wonderful opportunities to learn and grow and appreciate the simple things. I love baking my own bread and cakes from scratch. I love serving people food I've grown and prepared. I am richer for giving up "conveniences." I wouldn't trade it back for anything.<br /><br />I am glad your family is benefiting in so many ways.BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497511995276601468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948397622243147877.post-43981869731975185452011-04-06T08:07:25.439+10:002011-04-06T08:07:25.439+10:00I agree! I believe that we all should get in close...I agree! I believe that we all should get in closer touch with where our food comes from and how it is prepared. I applaud you for your efforts with your children; they will have many happy memories of all this when they are grown.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07553330657363385668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948397622243147877.post-13777837099429985282011-04-06T07:46:19.446+10:002011-04-06T07:46:19.446+10:00These are such great pictures! Your veggie patch ...These are such great pictures! Your veggie patch puts mine to shame!! Thankfully we're part of an organic veggie co-op so I don't have to rely on my harvest (or lack there of)!!!I couldn't agree more about ditching the processed food and making from scratch. That pizza looks delicious!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02141836406113250543noreply@blogger.com
