Homemade Makes a Difference (Housewife Sayings by JenExx)


HOMEMADE MAKES A DIFFERENCE:
A housewife doesn’t have to make everything from scratch, especially in the 21st Century when there are so many wonderful options that didn’t exist in the 1950s that make cooking at home quicker and easier. However, a housewife doesn’t use modern conveniences as an excuse to never make homemade food. By starting with a few homemade basics, a housewife can grow her skills and recipe collection over time. Making something from scratch makes those foods all the more special and makes a tasty difference in the lives of those she loves who enjoy the benefits of her homemade goodness.
