LOL, the same thing happened to me when I moved to the UK and went to the grocery store for the first time. I hardly recognized anything and realized that I was going to be deprived of all the ridiculous convenience foods I was used to. I learned a lot about cooking while I was there and I was so grateful for it. Although I never did find a cake recipe I really liked. I would love to get yours if you’re willing to part with it. Oh and I loved your Trash the Dress photo. I did some funky bridal shots some people think they’re weird, but I cherish them.

I was suprised by the cereals. Luckily their fav is porridge and ready brek, but they do also have shreddies and rice krispies! I am mean though and have always bought shop own brand which was better but I was still shocked at how much sugar is in rice krispies.… They rarely have biscuits or sweets though so I don’t feel too bad.…

I love love love to cook. I make big meals and break them out into ziplocs or tupperware things and freeze them. There are only 2 of us, so this method can feed us sometimes up to 6 meals or more. I make all my own gravy (spaghetti sauce) from scratch in big batches and freeze them too. Take one out, and we have a dinner! I can’t bake for shit though.

Since I'm not working I cook a lot of homemade meals. It's just nice knowing what all goes into your food. I'm not fanatic in any sense, but I actually felt bad for my friend who bought a ready-made lasagna meal from M&S to serve to her husband. It's not that hard to make! Really! I totally feel your pain on Betty Crocker. For me it was the brownies. I used to love the brownies, but now I make a recipe of 'killer brownies' that my aunt gave me and I'll never go back to the box stuff.

I’m a big fan of cooking from scratch. I like to know what I’m eating.
Unfortunately, I also always have at least one ready meal in the freezer for those times I just can’t be bothered or I’ve spotted a bargain on the cheap table/chiller/oops stand.
