I have this argument with my wife often. I like to cook, and for me cooking is more than taking frozen meatballs and dumping them into a pan full of jar pasta sauce. I would rather make the sauce, maybe have some meatballs made in advance. My wife seems to think that pre-made stuff or mixes are the way to go. I would rather just make pancakes scratch, which isn't hard, where she would rather I just open the mix, add water, and make the food. But I do agree that having a frozen lasagna is better than taking the full effort when I just want to get dinner going. So where are your eat the pre-made vs make it from scratch?

If you have time, make food for the whole week and you eat "pre-made food" (point for your wife) made by you from scratch (point for yourself)๐Ÿ˜

Some people don't like leftovers, I can only figure their experience with leftovers has always been bad.

I love having leftovers around, but I make a pot of good stuff with plans for the leftovers. Some things are never leftovers because they don't hold well (anything with leeks or tarragon for example).

Sometimes, leftovers don't reheat the same way.
