[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry, but there are some vey decent jarred sauces (Barilla, Newman's, TJ's) without preservatives and very simple, wholesome ingredients. I use these regularly and still feel that my meal is "home cooked."[/quote]

C'mon, gimme a break.  You are taking a dish someone else prepared, reheating it, and calling it homemade.  It's basically the same as getting Chinese takeout, putting it in a bowl to heat up in the microwave, and calling it homemade.   Doesn't that sound ridiculous?

Look, I'm not criticizing - you should be commended for making dinner for your family, choosing healthy options, and not getting takeout.  And I used jarred sauce too, so I'm not getting up on some high horse here.  But let's not delude ourselves - it ain't home-cooked.

I refuse to get sucked into the competitive, "I work all day, come home, make a home-cooked dinner for my family, and in my spare time work on achieving world peace and cold fusion."  It's OK to admit that you don't make a home-cooked dinner sometimes.  Really.
