Hello my sub-saharan friends,
I keep trying to get people to make their own food, but so many people hesitate. I hesitated myself too. Sure, the thought of putting a squid in a blender doesn't much appeal to anyone... but you gotta go it! I'll tell you why...
1) You'll KNOW what's in your food.
2) You'll only have ONE (or maybe two) things to feed.
3) You can make it so that you end up putting a LOT less phosphates (preservatives and other junk) in your tanks.
3) You get to make a FABULOUS mess of your kitchen.
So, here's one place to start:

And here's an idea... if anyone is afraid to venture it by themselves, have a party!! Maybe you could have each person bring a different ingredient. And this way only one person's house will smell like rotting fish for a week!
Bring some beer too (trust me, it's more fun that way).
I wish I could hold such a party myself, but I barely have the room to make enough food for my tanks...
