growing up in an ingredient house sucks but visiting my parents ingredient house is great. croissants, ham, onion, and eggs + 8 cheeses on hand for me to choose from this morning. (i picked tillamook sharp cheddar)

    I thought growing up in an ingredient house sucked as a kid but I realized very quickly that I much prefer having the education, tools, ingredients and support to learn to cook. I have better standards additionally.

    I have always kept an ingredient house. When my kids were younger and asked for a snack, I would say we don’t have them. Make yourself something. They learned to make things like bacon and eggs , toast, or eat yogurt or fruit for a snack.

    Once I asked what a snack even was, they said chips, frozen pizza, candy, etc. I just looked at them and rolled my eyes. Those kind of snacks are not only trash, but expensive trash.

    They all grew up to know healthful food from trash “food”.

    All the people confused on what an ingredient household who don’t bother to look it up before commenting, as if the term hasn’t been popular on social media for a few years

  4. I grew up in whatever opposite ingredient house would be and it kinda sucks long term. No one ever cooked and I’m almost 30 still kinda hooked on convenient foods. I’m doing way better now, we cook majority of our meals, but my snacking habit is still there..
