My mother baked and cooked everything homemade, I sometimes envied my friends whose moms didn't, how crazy is that? What was I thinking.? She passed her love of baking and cooking on to me. DH & I were married over seven yrs. before he ever had a sandwich, up until kids happened, all three meals a day were homemade from scratch, nothing pkgd or store bought. Can't say that now,though. Pizza and coke win out sometimes.
