Let’s be real here, I know we aren’t all going to run out and start making our own cheese, but isn’t it kind of cool to know that you COULD make your own cheese if you wanted to? And even simple things like Hostess Cupcakes. Yes those things are little bundles of heaven, but imagine all the mystery ingredients you could save yourself from ingesting if you made the cupcakes and icing from scratch? It really doesn’t take that long.

When I first started blogging I made all sorts of things from scratch, and I came to the realization that you really can make just about anything yourself! And once I figured that out, it became kind of fun to see what I could make, and whether I could make it better than the store bought version! This is a pretty neat little list of items that you traditionally buy boxed, bottled, or bagged that you can actually make for yourself at home from fresh and (mostly) natural ingredients. Homemade food with fresh ingredients, no preservatives and no ingredients you can’t pronounce? Sounds amazing to me! Check these out!
