I cook from fresh every day. Now granted I'm not the fastest cook - but it can take anything from about 20mins to an 1h 30mins to prepare dinner. While I'm cooking I'm cleaning and doing other tasks. Left overs carry over to lunch or another evening meal.
If I were to use a frozen meal, I'd have to defrost, and then cook, and likely would want something alongside it - like veg or salad. Unless Chef Mike (Microwave) is employed. I find it hard to see this being that much quicker.
I've had one pre-prepared bought in meal this year. Most convenience foods like this have a strange processed taste -
that isn't just salt. This is coming from someone whose sense of taste has been shot totally to pieces.

- stevesimmons 8y agoOnce you cook regularly, "figuring out what to cook and then searching for ingredients at various sections of the store" takes next to no time. Most of what you buy are the regular weekly standards. Just spent two minutes writing a shopping list before you leave home. Then for the first few days after you shop, cook the meals you planned. And towards the end of the week, open the fridge/cupboard and think "what needs to be used up?" The more you do it, the easier it gets.
