I work in the afternoon and evening now so we tend to either eat separately or eat take out. I used to love to cook but now I’m exhausted and can’t stand it. I’m trying to do more home eating because going out is EXPENSIVE and that means cutting corners like buying from Schwans and buying precut potatoes and other veggies. Two years ago I tried Home Chef and that worked for awhile, but then they started to go bad in the fridge. Now my grocery store sells 5 different meals a week, I think, so I bought two because they were buy one get one half off. I also buy cheap TV dinners for my husband’s lunches and lots of fruit and veggies to pack in my lunch with hummus. I never schedule meals for a particular night, I just choose what sounds good.

it’s funny, I do look at the calendar and assign particular meals to certain days…but I still don’t always follow the actual days. it’s really good to stay flexible, I like it that way…especially wen you’re so busy!
