Yes, I know you’re right. At our worst point years back, I often didn’t eat, instead just fed the kids, too. Praise God that last year there were resources we could avail ourselves of in our community. I know even the food pantries are low on supplies now though. And the demand is even greater now...
I still buy too many packaged foods (easier to prepare, but definitely less healthy, and more expensive). Hopefully with my back feeling better (as well as my mental state being more positive) this is one of the things that will definitely change.
I have to say thanks for all your work on this thread. I’ve been reading through it between posts, and there are a lot of ideas that I can use even now... And, especially things to teach my kids how to make.

That is what I was attempting to do, teach you kids the old ways and many of you are willing to learn.
Once you get in the swing of it, good cooking does not take any longer than the boxes of chemicals that we consider easy.
Do take a look at the thread, most are simple, some even cheap to make.
Then you can start on threads one and two, for this is three.
My love to all of you.
