Personally I do almost all my cooking from scratch. I find cooking to be a stress reliever. I love to experiment and I love watching people enjoy my food. Is this really becoming a rareity in the every day home now?
Ummmm....I confess....for me, cooking is a stress producer.
I don't mind baking a few things that I do well, but cooking.....
Let's just say I love microwaves and any short-cut I can take in the kitchen, you can be sure I'll be taking it.

The only things I really spend a lot of time on cooking "from scratch" are the eggplants and zucchini my husband grows in the garden.
