I cook everything from scratch! I try to teach my kids that you do not have to eat out of a box. I take the kids to the supermarket ( where we do not actually buy anything for we shop at local markets) and they pick out things that they would like to try, have had at a friends house etc.... We write it down and then throughout the week we make the "boxed" recipe from scratch. It is so much more fulfilling and tastes better too! Bread! Make at a minimum of once a week for sandwich bread and also bread for dinner! I've been trying to write down all of the traditional recipes from my and my husbands family so they do not get lost and are available for my children and grandchildren etc... to enjoy.
