Hey there, I know most of you all have at least one recipe that has been made with something store bought and not home made. Like a cake mix, instant pudding, canned or jar spaghetti sauce. We need some more people and recipes in here. :o)

OMG... Save that woman! She cooks out of a box! I think we all do more than we like to admit... I always have a cabinet full of Campbell's soups! Now I love Hamburger Helper, but the salt content is way to high... So I have been trying to match some of those! And I use the canned spaghetti sauce or soups to get that... Low salt!

So come on ... give us REAL recipes... Monday-Friday cooking!

I love canned sloppy joes sauce. Sure the home made stuff is super but dang with the canned you brown the ground beef, drain, empty the can of sauce in the same pan simmer for a few minutes and WOW...supper is done!!!!!!!

There was a time I would not have made anything from prepared ingredients. I now have to admit that there has been such progress made in the ready to eat foods that I (occasionally) use prepared ingredients such as marinara sauce, ravioli, salsas etc. to avoid the labor intensity of scratch cooking, when we as a society have become sooooooooo busy.
That being said, I still pride myself in being able to be a "From Scratch" cook.

I cook from scratch most of the time... BUT... yes smurfetta... there comes a time when we have to reach for the can or box! Used to be the Mom's stayed home... took care of the home... Now they take care of the home, run the kids, work and who knows what else... And you can cook healthy if your careful! I used to live in the prepared produce department... already peeled, chopped... all I had to do was wash and eat!

Cooking from scratch is not possible for the life style I lead I often jazz up something store bought. Or add some thing home made like a baked potato and a vegetable to a pre-made veggie burger.
