I did 3 main things at that time to achieve that goal.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>1)<\/strong> I worked up many of my recipes into &#8220;mixes&#8221; that could be made ahead, and then used like a convenience mix.<\/p>\n<p>Well, maybe 1) should be, I converted many family favorites -generational family recipes- into <a href=\"http:\/\/frommeandmyhouse.com\/gfy.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Good for You-Naturally!<\/strong><\/a>\u2122 versions. Also, I had used and loved many &#8220;Make a Mix&#8221; type recipes, for bringing convenience into making food from scratch and money-saving make-your-own into convenience. Now I was combining these principles with <a href=\"http:\/\/frommeandmyhouse.com\/gfy.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Good for You-Naturally!<\/strong><\/a>\u2122 ingredients.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>2)<\/strong> I wrote a few simple <a href=\"http:\/\/frommeandmyhouse.com\/gfy.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Good for You-Naturally!<\/strong><\/a>\u2122 recipe books.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>3)<\/strong> I packaged the <a href=\"http:\/\/frommeandmyhouse.com\/gfy.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Good for You-Naturally!<\/strong><\/a>\u2122 mixes up and printed the recipe books and began to teach my daughters, and also headed for Farmer&#8217;s Market &#8211; with mixes, recipe books, and baked goods &#8211; including a trunk full of homemade whole wheat bread and cinnamon rolls.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The man in the spot next to me, an older gentlemen that we bought eggs and honey from, told me, &#8220;Young women don&#8217;t know how to cook anymore.
