[quote=Anonymous]This comes from the post by the person who said they made dinner in 9 mins.

Do you consider heating up frozen meat and veggies and microwaving rice as cooking?

My sis and I bicker about this all the time. My sis says that a meal like the one described above isn't cooking for your family, but feeding your family. I say it's cooking. She views those types of meals as no better than fast food. I say if it's made at home, for the most part, it's better than fast food.

My sis will make elaborate meals 3 or 4 nights a week and then eat out for the remaining meals.

I make the shortcut type meals most nights of the week and we eat out Friday dinner and Saturday lunch & dinner. Sunday afternoon is when we make our big family meal (pot roast, roasted chicken, homemade sauce & pasta, etc.)

Examples of meals I make: 
-buy a rotisserie chicken from the store and make quesadillas, enchiladas, a pot pie, soup, etc. with it 
-make an extra large pan of lasagna (store bought noodles & sauce) and eat it for 2 or 3 nights 
-frozen fish (like salmon, cod, tilapia) defrosted in 10 mins in a bowl of water paired with a bag of frozen veggies, a bag of salad mix, and a baked potato/sweet potato 
-jar sauce to make a large pot of curry
-pre-pattied, frozen burgers tossed right on the grill
-TJs tomato soup with grilled cheese[/quote]
