I feel it is! Scratch to me is knowing from the beginning where it all comes from and what it contains. For instance every time we eat out I know I am getting canola oil aka rape seed oil...A carcinogen, but I take it in stride, as we seldom eat out! It is a real treat when we do and so I try not to think about it. It does all take time. I found that when I was teaching school the crock pot was my friend. :) THank you for commenting!
Have a great Day!
