It's all for the smile on their faces, the warmth of their, "I love this!" and the, "May
I have more, please?"
I have more, please?"

Practical reasons:
I'm a homemaker, it's part of my job description
Four children, two adults, one income.
Control over the salt/sugar/fat content - even if it isn't lower in
quantity, it is higher in quality. If we're going to eat junk, at least
it should be good junk.
Other reasons:
I enjoy it, from meal planning, reading recipes, recipe development,
chopping, mixing, the whole deal.
I love feeding people, and making people happy with food.
It is something at which I excell.
It is interesting to me.
It is part of how I show love to my family and friends.
I can make better food at home for less than a quarter of the cost of
a restaurant: I made a sausage and cabbage soup and two whole grain
baguettes for dinner for us the other night for a whopping $10. This
fed our family that night, gave us leftovers for yesterday's lunch (plus
feeding our babysitter) and provided lunch for Rich for work today.
I like the challenge of coming up with something wonderful out of
nothing, such as what's on sale or in the cheap meats bin at the grocery
store, or what we have in our pantry and freezer. Which is a good skill
to hone, see the second practical reason above.

I completely understand this, and I don't think it is egotistical. I
have independent confirmation that my cooking is better than most other
people's. I _know_ I can make food better than a restaurant can, or
that instant food at the grocery store. Rich says that he is completely
spoiled by my cooking, and that it's hardly worth eating food made by
anyone else. Knowing that, and then willingly spending four or five
times or more to eat lesser food, not wise.

I have to tell you, Wayne, don't make separate meals. If there is
something someone is allergic to, leave it out, but if you're the cook,
cook the food. Try to make it something everyone will tolerate, but
don't become a short order chef.
We have tried not to pass on our food prejudices to the kids, and we
have committed to never saying anything bad about any kind of food in
front of them. Even if we hate it. They aren't as big fans of
mushrooms or bleu cheese as they could be because I don't like them, and
therefore don't buy them or cook with them, but Rich eats them and when
we eat out the kids get to have those kinds of things.
Since part of my job is nourishing the family, along with keeping in
the budget, we don't really have the luxury of different meals anyway,
but the kids learn from us that they need to eat the good food that is
offered to them.
Now, of course, I don't load a meal with things that I know everyone
dislikes, but if something that is part of the meal isn't a favorite of
someone, they still have to eat a little bit anyway. If the kids
complain, Rich explains that Mama made this for them to nourish them and
out of love and how would they like it if they made a picture for me and
I said that I didn't want it or that it was yucky. That usually makes
the point.
