[quote=Anonymous]I think this is an instance where you take things one step at a time. Start figuring out whose recipes you like and find easy to follow and that uses ingredients your family will actually enjoy and eat. I like Once Upon a Chef and Damn Delicious best. Start by adding 2 new recipes a month. With 5 people eating, I'd double every recipe.

For food waste, I'd say start by being better about freezing leftovers unless they actually get eaten. I bought "soupercubes" this year and have found them really helpful in organizing frozen leftovers. Do you have a second freezer?

For fresh produce, try to only buy what you know is actually going to get eaten. You can't buy this in bulk. I also started growing herbs in an aerogarden so I can trim off exactly what I need rather than buying an enormous bunch of cilantro and using 5 stems of it.

You have to think about what will actually freeze/reheat vs. what will get eaten day of and make sure you're making the right amount of food for each situation. This is hard with 5 people, easier with 1 or 2. [/quote]
