[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's the overall organization around food and the may steps it takes to make food from start to finish.  For starters, we can usually only seem to come up with 4 or 5 meal ideas - total (not per week).  So finding recipes that seem simple and quick but not the same as what we're already eating is overwhelming.  Also getting all the ingredients together.  It seems like recipes that have lots of ingredients create a lot of waste.  So I spend $5 on a package or two of fresh herbs and then use a tbsp and throw the rest out.  Then the actual steps to cooking are challenging.  Lastly, the cleanup doesn't seem to happen in time for the next meal.  So there you have it.  Eating out is easier and that's what we do.  We would like to change this but I barely have the time to write this post let alone figure out how to cook.[/quote]
I would look at something like Rachel Ray's 'week in a day' type of cooking. That way, you can spread the ingredients over several dishes. I would also stick to simple meals so you don't have to buy too may things.
Herbs such as rosemary, thyme and oregano are good when dried, so there will be less waste that way. I usually cook and freeze our lunches and dinners on the weekend. Then it only involves putting together a salad or side dish for dinner.
A basic cooking class may be helpful to figure out techniques.[/quote]
