I just make soup with bought foods.

I am not recommending soup just letting you know what I do. 
I mix flake, dry ground brine, dry whole looking brine things, dried seaweed and Cyclop-Eeze. I use a little tank water, let it sit for a bit then turkey baster it where needed.
I also find that my long tentacled purple anemone and feather dusters smile alot when I "dust" off the rock with the baster.

I have tried making some from scratch. recipes vary. but heres a good sounding one from reef central's own Sanjay Joshi, the lighting king, sounds good enough to eat.

all stuff you can buy at the grocery store. have a seafood diner medley of salmon, clams, squid, shrimp, nori, and cut a few pieces of each seafood for the fish. then blend up. you can also add extra vitamins like SEACHEM REEFPLUS, i often soak my brine shrimp and mysis in a little of it and tank water. or add SELCON, or squeeze a few OMEGA-3 vitamin caps into it too. and flake and BS AND MYSIS, THEN mix in a blender to the proper particle size for your fish, then bag in a ziplock, flatten out very thin, and freeze.

Making your own mix of food has many benefits.
1) You can adjust the mix to better satisfy your inhabitants.
2) Decent size batches can be made relatively quickly and frozen.
3) The overall cost is a little cheaper than store bought if you break it down.
4) You can add your preferred brand or type of added nutrients.
5) In a pinch, you can tell your date it's an exotic Thai dish.

I make my own foods, too. But I still vary my fish's diet with frozen and other prepared foods according to this:
