For me, bread crumbs are a yes for making myself. They are not significantly pricier than buying pre-made, prepare quickly and easily, and taste much better. The stuff you buy at the store can sometimes be essentially a box full of saw dust. For your consideration, I present: Homemade Bread Crumbs. There is lots of homemade versions of things that are fun to make for a one time experience, but are not very sustainable for a food staple (ie: homemade fig newtons.) In scenarios like this, I weigh:
- price to buy store-bought
- quality of store-bought vs. homemade
- level of difficulty to make from scratch.
- Enjoyment at a homemaker and blessing to the family
(Another of my very favorite worthwhile DIY in the kitchen is homemade taco seasoning. Try it! I use this stuff all the time.)
