I can totally relate to your period of eating out of the box and bag.

When we cook together, though, I have to remind him -- frequently -- that I'm not one of his cooks and not to boss me around.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13123349832169624388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648374498406854611.post-35049222284268354732009-10-01T10:39:04.119-05:002009-10-01T10:39:04.119-05:00I was raised on Ohio "mid-western semi-poor p...I was raised on Ohio "mid-western semi-poor people" food too. And so were all my friends.... now that I've had a taste of the real stuff-- I'm so perplexed as to why we were all raised on this food. <br /><br />My theory is that the diet was a holdover from WW II and also the 1950s - meant to last in bomb shelters. Look at it, that is some scary food! Velveeta, Chef Boyardee Pizza-in-a-Box, Parmesan Cheese in a green box, Ragu sauce, Instant Potatoes? I think I was raised in Preservative City. <br /><br />I didn't taste fresh pineapple until I was 15! <br /><br />What kills me is that these foods aren't that much cheaper than fresh foods. Lots of times they are more expensive. A box of instant potatoes is super expensive, and, frankly, I think instant potatoes are harder to make than real ones!<br /><br />My family in Ohio still eats these things and there is no convincing them otherwise. But me, I think I will raise my kids on real food that DOESN'T last 2 years. Cook more. And for veggies -- I'll go for frozen instead of cans.<br /><br />Or, maybe I'll just marry a chef. :)ctinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11200690758997116163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648374498406854611.post-44938505259273099212009-09-30T21:06:04.817-05:002009-09-30T21:06:04.817-05:00don't forget to eat red meat though!! your pre...don't forget to eat red meat though!! your pregnant body needs the iron...i have anemia when i was pregnant and steak is my favorite meal!
