"I’ve decriminalized my thoughts about food — I’m allowed to consider getting hot chocolate, or having pie for breakfast, or taking second helpings, without any judgment or shame. But that doesn’t mean I always decide to do those things, and in fact, simply being allowed to think rationally about food means that I often don’t." YES.

How cost-effective is it to make pantry staples from scratch? - By Jennifer Reese - Slate Magazine

Bagels and yogurt, apparently, are delicious bargains. (Am tempted to try the bagels this weekend, honestly.) Cream cheese, not so much. Jam works if you get free/cheap fruit. (And I'll note, if you have/can get the equipment.) Granola is more expensive but yummier.
