Economizing by making her own peanut butter, pita bread, and yogurt, she found that \"doing it yourself\" doesn't always cost less or taste better. In fact, she found that the joys of making some foods from scratch-- marshmallows, hot dog buns, and hummus--can be augmented by buying certain ready-made foods--butter, ketchup, and hamburger buns. Tired? Buy your mayonnaise. Inspired? Make it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith Reese's fresh voice and delightful humor, \u003ci\u003eMake the Bread, Buy the Butter \u003c\/i\u003ehas 120 recipes with eminently practical yet deliciously fun \"make or buy\" recommendations.
