Is this diet normal?
Growing up, my mum never actually really cooked us anything, it was always frozen food just put in the oven and heated up. Like she never actually bought fresh ingredients and made anything from scratch. Once a week she'd cook us a roast dinner alright, but apart from that it was just frozen food. Also for breakfast it was always cereal and for lunch it was always toast (although I never really understood why people would bother cooking anything for breakfast/lunch anyway). She didn't have a job btw, so that isn't the reason that she didn't have time.
But now at work I often hear people talk about what they're going to have for dinner that night, and they always talk about what they're going to make (for them and their kids). I feel like I'm listening to a cooking show, they're all sharing recipes and giving each other advice about what they could add to this or that to make it taste better. They also bring in fancy food they've previously prepared for lunch, I always just bring in a sandwich.
So was it normal for me to have grown up with just stuff put in the oven, and never to have had any fresh food prepared and cooked? I had a great upbringing so I hate to sound ungrateful, but I do feel a little like I was given a bad start in that way. All that processed food presumbably wasn't the best diet for a kid, and I'm not experienced in the culinary world now at all.
