Hi Jaxma I know you probably spend all day sending out your recipe books but I am a recipe and baking freak and would love a copy of yours please. emmilybryant at hotmail that would be really great the funniest thing is I have lots of hand written recipe books and keep thinking who ever finds these when I die is going to think I was crazy but now I know that hopefully one day some one will treasure them! ! !

Bam & ladies I think your all wonderful baking. Yes it is easy to go to supermarket and get a packet of biscuits slices puddings. Our children four I always had baked soups, cooked all the food, they do the same now they are grown up. I bake cook puddings for just my husband and myself, or friends to say thanks you, they love it so all I can say is good on all of the cooks. No we are not missing out on anything have gained a lot of pleasure.

Do people really still feed their children this much butter, sugar and white flour?
bams1,

I can tell you That when you have got 7 children it is much cheaper to bake than buy stuff from the super market that is full of preservatives and other crap , at least i take the time out to do it and provide my kids with somethingnice to have in their lunch box, they also get heaps of fresh fruit and veges not just sweet stuff.

That is fair enough but just because you made it and not bought it does not make it that much less unhealthy.

i thought i was alone for a while no one else that i knew did baking for their families and they kept saying ''oh your so good'' but its not been good i fing it relaxing and the kids and their bloody friends put in requests i guess for swapping purposes, i also make the nancys slice have you tried the old fashioned chhescakes in the edmunds book im sure they would be a hit... and lemsip get a life what is more nayural thatn a mother wanting to bake for her kiddies its not proceesed its not $2 a slice so your intitled to your opinion but dont try and make us fell s**t for the good things that we do... ... if im too busy or have to go away for sports i still buy the packages bikkies but they dont last as long and for my 3 lunches costs me $15 a week
