I need somebody to explain to me how cooking from scratch is more expensive. I have been cooking my whole life both personally and professionally. I have an entire notebook filled with my own recipes. I have 3 children under the age of 9 and a pregnant wife, if I take them to a sit down restaurant it will cost me at least $50. $50 at the grocery store will buy the ingredients for a full meal. I'm talking meat, potatoes (rice, bread, whatever starch), vegetable. I will have leftovers for the next few days and ingredients for another dish. I don't believe I could feed my family on our income if we didn't cook from scratch most days of the month.
Careful, you don't want the mods to throw a hissy fit.

It was that demise that led me to Great awakening. It was this forum that gave me hope. Thank you all!
I have my 8 year old learning to use a chef's knife. Makes me damn near crap my drawers, but he does well.
