Which do you prefer - instant food or food made from scratch?

[Corzhens]

When my husband and I were starting a famly, we were kind of hard up with our finances. But we never depended on instant food except for the instant soup, the cheap Chinese soup in packets. With meat, we try to save by buying the bone parts and mix it with lots of vegetables. That is more nutritious than the instant food particularly the tv dinner that you microwave. Until now that we are doing well, we never buy instant noodles particularly those cheap ones that abound in the market. We prefer real noodles that we cook in the traditional way.

I always prefer from scratch when I have the time - to me it just always tastes fresher and better to me.

I know sometimes instant foods are more convenient and of course I don't always cook from scratch every single meal of the day - but whenever time permits I will cook from scratch.

My family seems to prefer from scratch meals too, which is nice!
