[quote=Anonymous]We make things from scratch more because it’s cheaper. And we don’t buy fruits and veggies out of season most of the time.

I use frozen or freeze-drive fruits and bake them into muffins or waffles and freeze them.  When apples and pears are in season I buy a bunch and make apple or pear cake or applesauce and freeze it all.

We buy Most dairy eggs or meat in bulk from costco and use or freeze.

I do less meat and more veggies or beans/lentils in most dishes.  E.g., I make hamburgers with 2 pounds of meat, 4 zucchinis, a big thing of mushrooms, a pound of carrots, some onions, some black beans, eggs, seasonings and bread crumbs.  Shred all the veggies/beans in a food processor, mix it in with the eggs, seasonings, bread crumbs and beef and make a huge pile of burger patties.  I bake them, then freeze them in stacks the right number for one family meal, then can easily pull them out for a fast weeknight dinner alongside roast potatoes or french fries.  Or I’ll make a chicken pot pie with lots of veggies and only a little chicken, or a shepherds pie similar to the burgers.  Basically instead of going vegetarian, just swap out the ratio of veggies to meat.  The meat goes further but you still get most of the flavor.[/quote]
