Passionate Freewriting- Cooking

I can't cook simply. I try very hard to simply cook, but it's just not in me. Opening a can and pouring it into a pan does nothing for me(or my family for that matter). Why buy bread when you could make your own honey whole-wheat, sunflower and flax seed, wheat germ version for a fraction of the price? Why buy a can of soup or chilli when you could saute all the ingredients together with some garlic and onion to infuse the whole dish with flavor? I guess I just don't buy into the line that "easier is better". There are so many times that I know I should slap some peanut butter and jelly on some store-bought bread and call it lunch, but I just can't bring myself to do it! I've tried! I find myself baking a lemon garlic pork tenderloin with rosemary(fresh from my garden, of course) roasted potatoes for my 2, 3 and 5-year-old's lunch! I guess I figure, why eat when you could EAT!! When you have the option of flavoring your food with spices and herbs, why go bland? Go big or go home, right? I admit, it's a problem...but a tasty one!
