LOTS of convenience foods

Dinners:
-hamburger helper
-Manwich/ground beef sloppy joes
-Shake n’ bake chicken/porkchops
-canned Preggo sauce, ground beef spaghetti 
-creamed soup casseroles
-powdered onion soup mix crock pot roast beef
-vegetables always canned
-iceberg salads with Hidden Valley bacon ranch

Breakfasts: mostly junky cereals, coco wheats, flavored instant oatmeal packets, buttered toast with cinnamon sugar.  Never a cooked breakfast.  A “heathy” breakfast would have been Special K

Weekends were a fend for yourself situation: Canned Campbell’s soup, SpaghettiOs with the hot dog pieces in it, Veletta Mac and cheese, TV dinners, frozen Totino’s pizza rolls.

If any baking happened, it was infrequent and from a box, frosting from a jar, instant pudding. Mostly we ate Chips ahoy cookies, Twinkies, Oatmeal cream pies, hostess cupcakes.

As a young adult, I didn’t even realize you could make cookies, brownies, and pies, frostings without A box mix.  I taught myself to cook when I got married and haven’t looked back.  I cook nearly everything from scratch.  [/quote]
