Is baking from scratch really worth it?
Hello! I was just curious what everyone’s opinion is on baking from scratch. I should start off by saying that I love to cook & bake! It’s a skill I’m proud of, feeding my family fills my heart with joy! It’s definitely a love language of mine. I was just wondering if baking my own bread, muffins, tortillas & everything else under the sun is really that beneficial for my family’s nutrition than store bought? In the same vein, I prepare all of our meals/snacks too. Some of our veggies are frozen but other than that it’s all made from scratch. Lately I’ve been struggling to find the motivation to make sandwich bread because it takes so much time & care. When I could easily run down to the store for a loaf of $2 bread. I also want to ask if there’s much of a price difference? I usually have on hand the ingredients needed to get working (flour, eggs, vanilla bean paste, milk, butter, sugars, yeast, baking soda etc) & usually in bulk. However those supplies do cost $. I’m just not sure if the price difference is all that much. Any thoughts? Thank you.
