Homemade Goodness vs. Pre-Packaged? Suzy Homemaker Recipes+Giveaway Winner!!

March 10, 2010



I came across these ideas and thought it would bring such satisfaction..be money saving..and “easier”(sometimes)..to make these things instead of buying them pre-packaged! Some of these are treats that you might not normally splurge on but you can talk yourself into making them at home. hehe. So go on and be a super-mama and try out some of these homemade recipes instead of grabbing them pre-made! 

(maybe not the fastest..but i think you will feel awesome about yourself if you make these..haha. it’s very suzy homemaker. ;) click the images to get the recipes from these lovely blogs! or check out the links at the bottom.
