I know planning is the biggest thing for me right now because if I don't have the items I need to make a meal I'm pretty positive I am not going to run to the store to get them. I would rather run to the store and buy a whole meal already made for me ha ha! As for pinterest I pin a lot of recipes that look amazing but sadly hardly ever use them. My Mom always uses pinterest though... she is a great cook, unlike myself. <br />Thank you again for taking the time to comment and tell me what works for you :D<br />KeiaKeia Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12991392679214570928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4389115805552983749.post-91298646978594800192013-06-26T15:33:03.890-07:002013-06-26T15:33:03.890-07:00oh I like that idea!

Still trying to convince my husband to say ok to those places that cook your meals for you in your own kitchen. In the meantime, I am wearing him down (NOT), I get a lot of ideas from Pinterest. I used to just google for recipes but found that a lot of those didn't have that home cooked taste with flavor I was looking for. On Pinterest, most of those recipes are from folks like me and you. My husband and I plan, usually on Sundays. Sorry to say that without planning, you're doomed. If we don't plan, then it's frozen meals for us! We try to stick to simple foods like spaghetti, fish and crockpot meals. The crockpot has become my best friend. Cooking spaghetti at home is a lot better than buying it frozen. I've made chicken enchiladas in the crockpot and it was awesome. So awesome that my fam requests it now! We usually try to plan for at least 4 meals during the week, we can wing the other 3 in necessary. When you make your list, make it so that you place all of the ingredients together for one meal. I would get confused otherwise, trying to remember why I bought such and such ingredient. It's not easy, but planning is the biggest hurdle to jump for me. Try making your own pizzas like on a Friday or Saturday. That's actually really fun for the whole family and a lot healthier. I am right there with you, and it is one day at a time. Just take one of those days to plan for the other 6. Hope that helps!Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14725866058439527721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4389115805552983749.post-81901799341122980232013-06-24T21:18:58.224-07:002013-06-24T21:18:58.224-07:00Keia, I am in the same boat.

I guess we just have to take it a day at a time and keep trying to improve.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
