I have been cooking since I was about 9 (thanks, Mom)--I never REALLY learned to clean a kitchen until I had a kitchen of my own and realized that Mom had done a LOT of cleaning up after MY clean up (THANKS, Mom!) Cooking from scratch really is the way to go--I know exactly what is in it and I can avoid some ingredients and still have tasty, homemade food--oh did I mention save $$$ too?
