[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After reading the mashed potatoes thread, I got to thinking about all the stuff that I make from scratch; don't even consider the convenience version because the homemade version is superior and easy enough.

And this is only since the kids have gotten pretty independent that I have time... but now we make:

Yogurt. We have to plan because it takes 10 hours of cook time in the instantpot and another day of straining, but that's all passive time. Bought a yogurt strainer which is worth the storage space.

Granola. Takes 10 minutes to pull out, mix up, and put away the oats, nuts, seeds, binder, and about 20 minutes to bake.

Pizza and other tomato sauce: 5-8 ingredients. 10 minutes to get everything into the pot. 30 minutes to cook. Freezes like a dream.

I've dabbled with [b]bread, but we don't eat enough to make it worth the effort. [/b]Also I have friends who bake and share :)

There's probably more, and again, freeing up the headspace occupied by little kids was essential for me. How about you? [/quote]

Ha! This doesn't deter my DH who spends hours and hours on the perfect loaf of mixed grain and seed sour dough - while most all of it goes to waste or to "french toast" because nobody eats it! It's delicious, but how much bread can one eat? I gain weight on bread. I maintain on oatmeal.

I make a lot of oatmeal *from scratch*[/quote]
