What are you like in the kitchen?

I am wondering who out there cooks fully from scratch and who buys mostly all those starter meals that you see in the stores these days. I had a cookout for my daughters this past Sunday and found everyone one surprised that I made everything from scratch right down to the cake and the Boston baked beans. I enjoy cooking and think its just healthier when things are made fresh from local ingredients that they just taste better and they are better for you.

I see so many of the instant meals in the stores these days so I know they must be popular given there are so many of them in the stores. I wonder if I am a dinosour by cooking most things from scratch. There are only a few things that my daughters ask me for and I don’t think that within limits that to let them have them from time to time it isn’t a bad thing.

So what is your cooking style instant meal or from scratch??
