I don't know about you, but when I go to buy things from the store and I look at the

ingredient label and there is a list a mile long of so many ingredients and many of them,

one I can't even pronounce and secondly, I'm not really even sure what they are.

I hate buying those products and even more so I hate eating them or having my loved ones,

especially my kids, eat them.

But I don't always have hours every single day to spend creating homemade versions of things,

especially with the cost of groceries now. I remember the first time I started

making bread that my son, he was in kindergarten. And I actually had the janitor at the school

pull me aside and say, your son for the past month has been throwing his sandwich in the

garbage. And he hasn't been hardly eating anything at

lunch.

And so I went to him and I'm like, honey, why are you throwing away your sandwich?

And bless his heart, he didn't have the heart to tell me that he didn't like the bread

I was making because it was too dense.

Oh, I have to tell you, as a mom, like it killed me to know that I was spending the

time to make this nutritious wholesome food, but because it didn't taste good to him and the texture

wasn't good, he wasn't even eating it. Instead, he was going hungry. Well, I want you to know that I have figured

out how to make delicious light and flaky bread and pastries. All of our baked goods are

homemade now and my children thoroughly enjoy them and are not throwing them out. In fact, they ask,

Mom, can you make this? And now that my son is pretty much moved out, I will send him pictures

when I've got done baking something and then he will swing by the house and grab it because he

loves my homemade food now. But I'm not spending hours every single day making all of these things.
