If you had told me 10 yrs ago that by the age of 34 I would be a stay-at-home Mum to three kids and cooking all our own food from scratch I would have laughed at you... okay so I am not a domestic goddess yet (and may never be one since I HATE ironing so much that Joshua actually notices that I have ironed his clothes and thanks me LOL - I know I have scarred him for life!!) but maybe I can qualify as a demi-goddess.
Today i baked our own bread, made water crackers and vanilla biscuits. I also made a litre of yoghurt. Dinner was left-over stew from last night (made without additives) and home-made stewed apple and custard (made without using custard powder - yes it is possible). I never knew how much we take our food for granted!! And am amazed that there is soo much junk in our crackers etc when really they need only contain simple ingredients. My pantry is soooo different this week compared with last week. It is a lot less colourful and contains a lot more dry ingredients. i still have a lot to learn but it is really qite fun learning how to make foods that I had never stopped to ponder. I am excited about learning how to make my own lollies LOL (no-one said all our food had to be healthy as well as colour-free hahaha)
It is so worth it though - Xander is spot free again today and seems to be sleeping better.
