Homemade vs. Storebought Food

June 2, 2014 12:22 am , 9 Comments ,

When it comes to what foods I make at home and what foods I buy from the store, there are just some things I cannot imagine ever buying again, but there’s also certain things that I’m not daring enough to try. And a lot of those things I can’t make because I don’t have the equipment and tools necessary to make them with.
