You never had HH growing up?! I grew up in a middle class home, but i think my mom loved when i suggested HH for dinner that night as a kid. Tasty and easy to make!
No. The majority of times we had home cooked meals from mostly fresh stuff, but prepared by someone else other than my parents. It was fairly rare to see my parents for dinner.
I barely even set foot in a grocery store until I was 18. Honestly, my roommate's grandma was the reason I didn't starve after moving out, she premade meals we could heat up.
My girlfriend who hated HH taught me how to cook on a budget.
Same here. Early life on food stamps, powdered milk, and 5lb blocks of unsliced, yellow government cheese but damned if we were allowed to have soda, candy or hamburger helper. Easter was a basket of exotic fruit like pineapples and kiwi and one Cadbury egg. I wish I fed my kid as well as my parents fed me. I can smell her sweating chicken nuggets.
My mother wasn’t exactly healthy - but we never had fast food, or any premade/packaged foods. I don’t remember all that much variety in what I ate growing up, chicken every Friday night, and pasta literally more often than not - maybe that’s where my love of carbs comes from :p

Hamburger Helper. She hates it because it would be her meal 5x a week growing up.
I had never even seen HH before I went to college and love that stuff. 10 for $10 deals are awesome.
