You bet...When we were both working 60+ hours/week? You better believe it. We washed the clothes; that was enough time at the laundromat.<br /><br />Meal planning really does make a huge difference. When we first moved here I went through a long period of planning meals and shopping on Friday, then cooking for the rest of the week--things like, roast chicken on Sunday, with chicken leftovers (quesadillas, soup) at least two other days. It was nice to have a plan, and not have to think about dinner when I was hungry... but it also made for a lot of dishes. We finally decided the home-cooked dinner every night wasn't worth the nightly dilemma of whether to clean up while we were tired and wanted to be relaxing, or have to face a kitchen full of pots and pans in the morning.<br /><br />Now I plan for which ready meals I'm going to eat before they expire!Kathryne B Alfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752921413022073120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6949062086438341739.post-19134828813664972392011-09-28T01:28:16.539+01:002011-09-28T01:28:16.539+01:00...you sent out your sheets and towels!!??
I'......you sent out your sheets and towels!!??<br /><br />I'm trying to develop a system where I decide what we'll always be able to make--tuna casserole, TJ's fish nuggets and soycatash, quiche, pasta & pesto--and plan 2 main meals for each week and make the plan for 6 weeks out. It took 10 months of unemployment to come to the conclusion that it's the decision making part of meals...Carol Anoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6949062086438341739.post-16384954229815768272011-09-26T09:00:47.556+01:002011-09-26T09:00:47.556+01:00Ah, veggie burgers.

Garden Burgers are better, if they still make those?<br /><br />Somewhere out there a true foodie is jumping up and down and yelling at the screen how easy it is to make freezable veggie burgers. That foodie should start a business.Kathryne B Alfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752921413022073120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6949062086438341739.post-36730356647479022092011-09-25T19:17:26.975+01:002011-09-25T19:17:26.975+01:00Sing it, sister!

As a person who lives alone and works close-to-full time, I have actually made the decision that there's just no point in my buying produce at the farmer's market; I simply can't eat it fast enough. You know I dream of being a good cook someday, but in the short term I dream of a really good veggie burger. It's nice to know I'm not alone.Sarah L.noreply@blogger.com
