I think that’s the key – finding reliable sources of good quality ingredients. I used to look for the cheapest, but now I find I’m looking for the freshest or the tastiest.
Our 2 year old is into good food too, she doesn’t like any of the packaged foods so we make all her food and we’ve been making a few things from scratch like pickles.
Oh yes I also had a go at making V8 juice. Got a photo somewhere, there… I’ve got to admit it looked better before mixing than after, because it went a bit brown, but it was very tasty, at least for the first couple of gallons.
