I make food from scratch all the time so today it felt really good to make rice a roni out of a box and bagged "just add water" scones and frozen veggies with a store bought roteserrie chicken.

sometimes just gotta go for convenience.

lmao yeah I feel this, I basically always cook from scratch so anything that's frozen and just needs to be heated up or whatever feels like such an indulgence

it's a real treat

it really is. so nice.

waiting to see how these scones turn out. they're peppermint

oooh

It's been the opposite for me, kinda? I think because I was sick for a whole month and couldn't cook I've hit the COOK ALL THE THINGS!!! Phase again.

And convenience food seems like a curse, which it doesn't usually.

oh yeah definitely. I was super sick a few years ago and all I wanted was like.. non-soup stuff. I wanted to bake a full on roast

That's exactly what I did today. It was amazing.

Also rotisserie chickens are great. Sometimes I just don't want to deal with cooking meat.

and i don't have a rotesserie. i can't get that carmelization all the way around even if i roasted a chicken. So that's always super nice

I bought them pretty regularly when I ate meat. Cheap, delicious, and helps the store out since usually its their way of getting rid of the otherwise whole fresh chickens that are about to go off from being unsold

a win-win all around

Scones were delish!

these are them. very tasty. the right amount of sweet to bread

Oh my god, they sound delightful.
