[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I meal plan for and make 3 substantial meals every week that consist of a main, a side and a vegetable. Typically there are leftovers that cover one or 2 nights or I’ll make omelettes or grilled cheeses on the 5th night. I just don’t have the focus to plan any more than that. We get takeout Friday and Saturday nights. I’d love to sign up for a healthy meal or prep service but it’s just not in the budget. My kids are 3 years away from leaving the nest and I can’t wait to not have to worry about food for other people. Sorry DH…[/quote] I count that as cooking (or leftovers) every night. Meal planning is just organized leftovers. I do disorganized leftovers but probably cook significant meals 6-7 times a week (this is to cover 7 dinners for my whole family, plus 2 lunches ditto, plus 5 lunches just for me). I’ve started using green chef recipe cards (I don’t order the boxes; it’s not hard to grocery shop and I can’t afford their markup anyway) to get new meal ideas that are less hodgepodge but are quick and easy — highly recommend for anyone in need of meal ideas.[/quote]
