[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the poster who said it sounds like you're mostly cooking with recipes. That's ok, but try to step out of your comfort zone - the chicken recipe calls for sweet potatoes, but you've got a left over bag of carrots from another recipes? Use that instead. Recipe calls for half a pound of carrots but you bought a 1 lb bag - double the recipe and freeze the leftovers for nights that you don't want to cook. End of the week plan a meal around stir fry, salad or soup - toss in all the bits of leftovers. Garlic going to go bad? Mince it and freeze it in small blobs so you can use it straight from the freezer the next time a recipe calls for it. Open your mind to other substitutions as well - recipe says sliced garlic, but you can probably get away with the minced you already froze. [/quote]
