For years I have cooked delicious, healthy home cooked meals, (interspersed with the occasional 'orange dinner' for those days when I couldn't be arsed).
The kids have got fussier and fussier over the years and my acceptable dinner repertoire got narrower and narrower.
Then I discovered that although they turn their noses up at my pasta sauces (carbonara, puttanesca etc) they will happily eat bowls and bowls of it if it's made with a Homepride or whatever sauce. This has led to the revelation that Chicken Tonight sauce is apparently much preferable to anything I can produce.
I'm not a bad cook (at least I don't think so) but my teenagers evidently have an unsophisticated palate.
So wibu to give up cooking from scratch altogether and fully embrace the jars? It's so much better for my state of mind to spend three minutes assembling a meal they'll all eat than to spend an hour making something nutritious they'll pick at.
