Question

Do you prepare most of your meals from scratch? Or are you more of the frozen and fast food type?

Answer 1

Most night we actually cook food, but about once a week we do frozen chicken nuggets and fries for the kids.

Answer 2

Only from scratch and only from quality ingredients. I'd rather pay for good food than medical bills for myself and my kids - much more fun for the money.  

Answer 3

not frozen, but I do use some shortcuts in my "scratch" cooking like using pasta sauce from a jar instead of making my own or using tortillas from the store instead of making my own.

Fresh fruits and vegetables are a must for me, though.

Answer 4

when i have time, scratch... when i don't have time (which happens to be most of the time), frozen and fast food.

Answer 5

Mostly from scratch.  I have too many family members who are either picky about this or that, or who have allergies and sensitivities to various things (okay, I'm one of those people).  Besides, I love to cook, all the chopping and measuring, and the wonderful smells coming out of the pan or oven....It's heaven.  I also love making things my family loves.  I do get kind of overwhelmed sometimes by family stuff that I take short cuts but almost never use pre-packaged stuff.  I put the baby in her high chair and give her a bowl, a spoon and some medicine cups with spices, salt, pepper, flour, etc. in them.  She measures and mixes right along with me as I cook.

Answer 6

Both

Answer 7

Mostly from scratch. I took cooking and baking classes in college and worked professionally in both fields. I like to make my own meals.

Answer 8

scratch...love to cook and it is healthier

Answer 9

From scratch, it's cheaper and I know all the ingredients that's going into it.
