When some people think baked goods, they think Drake's cakes or Hostess Twinkies. Why do they think that? That's not baking at all. Just a bunch of chemicals thrown into some machinery and injected with preservatives for long shelf life.

Which leads me to my next point. If it has an expiration date more than 7 days away, don't eat it. Nothing that lasts that long on a shelf can possibly be good for you.

Amen!

I’m a “scratch cooker” for the most part...though I will confess to take out Chinese food and a frozen pizza from time to time in a pinch.

My husband was a professional Chef for a decade prior to morphing into a Computer Geek. We both LIVE in our kitchen.

And we’re not heavyweights, either! Fresh food, prepared as a family (grow your own!) clean water, sunshine and hard work do wonders for anyone. :)
