Hi, I try and cook a good meal everyday, but it all depends what my hours of work are like, some days i am out from 10a!.m!. - 11p!.m!. with just an hour in-between, so it's sandwiches for me!. I make things like stew, lasagne, soup, hot-pot all homemade of course for my son, he is in his 20''s but i still like to make sure he has something properly made!. I must admit i have not baked for years, but all that will change soon, when my grandaughter is a couple of years older, i always baked with my children, so i will bake with my grandaughter!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Huh!? If nobody cooks, then, the food stores must not be selling any meats or produce, and the restaurants must microwave all of their meals for you!. What a terrible life!

When most people cook, they make enough so that they can reheat leftovers for a quick meal or a lunch at work!. Microwave meals save a little bit of time, but the nutritional cost is pretty high!. Most of the instant meals have a ton of sodium in them so they don' t taste like cardboard!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Wait a minute! Some people still cook!. I cook 9 meals a week: 5 dinners and a breakfast & dinner on the weekends and they're all home-made by me!.

There is very little "convenience food" in my pantry - the thought of using "an envelope of onion soup mix" on anything makes me cringe!. I bake our bread and other baked goods as well!.

I will, however, confess to using frozen french fries (chips) because I refuse to deep-fry anything!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

my dad works shift work and overtime a lot so he really isn't here much, mom works some days and sometimes has meetings on the other days!. Anytime they aren't here we still make meals on the stove!. (Dad was home for lunch the other day and I made pecan-crusted chicken, mashed potatoes (not instant hate instant things) and gravy, and veggies)!. Sometimes we use the microwave but not all the time!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

uhhh!.
am cooking salmon steaks tonite!.!.with rice and veggies!. Yes, I do quick nuked meals a lot!.!. but that doesn't mean I never cook a real meal!.
It's nice to have options, so when I do make the effort, I don't feel as pressured!.
In the past!.!. I baked my own bread, and even made own butter (when we had a friend to sell fresh milk)!.
edit
sometimes (like right now)!.!. I just come and browse through this area, and look for a question that sounds good or makes me hungry!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

What are we trading in for this quick meal!. Time!? Our food has no nutritional value and our meals have no meaning anymore!. I'm looking forward to the meal in a pill!. When breakfast with my daughter is diminished to "hear takes this"!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I had a really nice spaghetti bolognese tonight all home made form scratch and I've just some brownies that were home made =] my dad's girl friend cooks some pretty awesome meals, but still I don't think there's anything wrong with having microwave meals sometimes but just not all the time!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
