[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm wondering if it's worth the time to make all this stuff homemade if you don't mind spending money to get bread, salad dressing in organic or low sugar varieties. What am I missing? [/quote]

It is certainly not worth my time.  I feel that I am easily able to feed my kids a healthy diet without making my own stuff.  There are PLENTY of good choices out there.  We buy Kashi nuggets and the heart-to-heart, Rao's, Wegman's triple berry jam, Pepperidge Farm (100% whole wheat), lots and lots and lots of fruits and vegetables and meats, plain yogurt, etc.  We buy english muffins and bagels without considering the sugar in there.  I make cookies and pies from scratch, but I buy boxed cake mix for sure.  (I do make frosting from scratch because it tastes much better to me. I love my desserts and so do my kids!)  I also make my own pancakes and waffles on the weekends and freeze the leftover ones to pop in the toaster when we want waffles or pancakes during the week.  I buy processed Lite Log Cabin or Lite Wegman's syrup and don't bat an eye.

I feel very strongly that we should feed ourselves and our kids well, but I don't stress at all over "clean" eating.  For example, last night we ate roasted chicken legs, roasted carrots and parsnips, a berry fruit salad, and a leafy green salad with tomatoes/peppers/avocado (my kids had croutons... I hate those things) and store bought dressing.  Nothing was organic.  [/quote]
