[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's cooking. I don't think that it's really elaborate skillful cooking, but it's not "fast food" by any stretch of the imagination, even if you are bringing home one prepared ingredient (e.g., rotisserie chicken) to save time. You're still making enchiladas with it. It's not like you're just plopping the rotisserie chicken on the table with some carrot sticks and chips and saying, "Dinner's ready!"

What kind of things is your sister cooking, if she doesn't consider the meals you listed to be "cooking"?[/quote]

She doesn't use shortcut products like pre-cooked chicken. She'll roast her own chicken. She's one of those people who meal prep on Sunday for the whole week and sometimes cooks a meal or two that day. She would never dream of using jar sauce (we aren't Italian, either).

She's definitely more of a foodie but I think it's silly to look down on others who do quick meals/shortcuts because, you know, life. She claims her kids would never eat some of the things I make for mine, but I fed them fish sticks one time and they chowed down on those babies. She was horrified, of course, but I'm not slicing fresh fish and hand-breading it on a random Saturday at noon. [/quote]
