I prefer homemade... Prepackaged is so unhealthy and lazy

I like to make things from scratch, but I can doctor a packaged item into something good.

im 46 and have always just microwaved or prepackaged.  Now I buy veggies and I like cutting them up and trying to make new things.  I have the time and im trying to eat healthy...so its a nice new hobby.

My husband takes the time every day to make a really nice homemade meal. We feel it is important to have one nice meal together each day now that our children are grown and out of the house. We always have a nice salad with the meal. I do the dishes afterwards which doesn't bother me because I enjoy the meals he makes so much.

I do both also.  However, I live alone and am leaning more heavily toward convenience foods.  Luckily, there are more healthy choices in stores now...if you look for them.  I am good at 'doctoring" some of these into something you can't tell isn't homemade.  Depends on my mood!!!!

Most of my meals are homemade but I do keep package meals around so there's something quick if I need it.

I know homemade is much better for you and it def tastes much better, and I def love homemade or food from scratch.  But I have to admit I use more prepackaged food than I would like to.  Just don't have the time! A lot of the good stuff is more expensive as well.  Hope to do better with this one in future!

I love to make home made foods for my family and I enjoy the skill of cooking tasty food. However there are some foods that I just can't recreate and one of those is bread! I can make bread, pizza dough and other things however they are never quite as good as store bought items. So if the price of a nice loaf of bread is only $2, I tell myself it wouldn't have been cheaper to make it myself anyway. But I do love to cook spaghetti, lasagna, pot roast and jambalaya as well as muffins, cupcakes and treats! And I think I'm pretty good at it!

I love home made. I just made sweet tea. I know what's in it - because I put it there. It's soo good!
