[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I agree that your DH sounds like an entitled whiner.  That being said, I do not consider prepared foods (rotisserie chicken, sides from the Whole Foods hot/cold bar, etc.) "home cooked" even if they're hot and tasty and nutritious.  If that's what you're making, maybe he's raising it as a cost issue.  On the other hand, if you're using [b]frozen veggies[/b], Shake and Bake, or that kind of thing, he might be wanting to cook more from fresh food for taste or variety.

Either way, he should say so and/or do more of the cooking himself.[/quote]

Two posters have now mentioned frozen vegetables as a cop-out.  Frozen vegetables are flash frozen shortly after they are picked, preserving high levels of nutrients.  "Fresh" vegetables are trucked to stores, after traveling for up to a week, all the time losing part of their nutrient content.  I like and use fresh vegetables often in my cooking, but frozen vegetables are not an inferior choice when it comes to feeding a family.  Since they don't spoil, having frozen vegetables on hand means that you always have something to serve with a meal. [/quote]
