I know right? Mom couldn't boil water and dad basically was doing hamburger helper at best, and he would burn anything at the grill, like Roger from FoxTrot. The second I could as a kid, I was on that grill cooking. Only way I was going to eat any form of meat not burnt to a crisp. And yeah, I enjoyed hot dogs as a kid a lot because they were safe and easy to make with cooklet parents.
It was definitely weird not having nostalgia for home cooked meals like my peers did in college though. Since I did everything that wasn't fast food/restaurant food, I never had anything to miss in the first place. And I've only gotten better as time went on, and when you live somewhere with little/no food options, your cooking skill is your lifeline.

I wish we'd bring back cooking/home ec to schools because these kids need nutrition science so fucking bad, would help with the lardass problem. Like have em cook their own breakfast and lunch from middle school on so they learn how to make shit and feed themselves. Though I know it can't work thanks to multiculturalism and all the fad diet / meme allergies that people have.
