As often as possible I cook meals from scratch but even as a stay at home mom I (Ashley) run out of time to do that EVERY night, for times when I (& you) need a bit of help getting dinner on the table there are dozens of wonderful starter products out there. Experiment with them, its not cheating and its still much less expensive then dining out when there are hungry mouths to feed.
