Cooking from scratch is probably best but I surely am glad to have a microwave handy.

I think from scratch is the best. But most of us don't have the time.

Cooking from scratch tastes better, but sometimes there is not a lot of time, so go for the easy way!

Ready made is so convenient but prefer cooking from scratch. To me it save much more money this way. I think  I'm going to prep-food so it easy when our family out about and come home knowing I ready have food ready to eat.

Cooking food from scratch is always better but you have some ready-made food that is good too and it saves a lot of time

Hands down, cooking from scratch is the best way to cook. That's how I do it most of the time

The best way would be cooking from scratch.  This way you would know what ingredients are in the food you are eating.  Life is so busy that we don't always have time to cook from scratch and then you have to rely on ready-made or microwave.

Home cooked meals are much better but the microwave meals really come in handy when time is short to fix a meal.
Have a wonderful day!

Cooking from scratch always tastes best but there's a lot to be said for ready made and microwave for speed and less mess. In today's world there's room for all three.

I've gotten into ready made meals, which isn't great. They add a lot of preservatives and other bad stuff.
