I've also found that with leftovers, I don't actually need to plan 6-7 lunches and dinners a week -- I only have to plan 3 dinners and that covers lunch and dinner for 7 days.Mary P Jones (MPJ)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10251787926841410344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8696496724271056053.post-39078960647905512672008-02-26T18:44:00.000-08:002008-02-26T18:44:00.000-08:00I try to organize my meals for the week, but I usu...I try to organize my meals for the week, but I usually find myself too tired to prepare a meal (I reach for the quick pre-made meals) or we go out...bad habits! <BR/>I know it is hard to get toddlers to eat anything...one moment they love it and the next they hate it. I just try not to fight it...she will eat if she is hungry. <BR/><BR/>;) Good advice!Careyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08087013090246008409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8696496724271056053.post-73961986319458974042008-02-26T11:54:00.000-08:002008-02-26T11:54:00.000-08:00I'm the only vegetarian in our house, which most d...I'm the only vegetarian in our house, which most days means I just don't eat because I don't have the energy to cook seperate meals. I'll try the meatloaf. If only I could get them to eat chicken, I've even tried breading it with yogurt and crushed cheerios (which they worship) but no dice. They say "chicken, bak bak" and try to feed it to the dog.<BR/>That doesn't inspire confidence in my cooking at all, lol.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14638088901866929061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8696496724271056053.post-34440171712831260032008-02-26T11:49:00.000-08:002008-02-26T11:49:00.000-08:00Wow.

As a result, he eats a lot of the same things, which is easy on me, and I just try to keep offering him new stuff off our plates or other items. Sometimes he'll surprise us and like something new. Recently I was excited to see him eat some pizza! <BR/><BR/>My husband is allergic to all acidic things, including tomatoes, which really screws everything up for me. He also has a sensitive stomach in general. I am a vegetarian to top it all off. We often eat different meals. I've learned how to cook some meat items for him. I try to plan three meals (dinner) a week - I mean things I need to buy groceries for. The rest of the week we eat leftovers or yes - sometimes frozen meals. I'd go crazy otherwise, and we don't live close enough to the store to make a quick run. Lunch is pretty much the same everyday with a little variation.Shellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02634919180872634636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8696496724271056053.post-85881382608349575382008-02-26T08:19:00.000-08:002008-02-26T08:19:00.000-08:00Shopping in your freezer (or fridge or pantry) is ...Shopping in your freezer (or fridge or pantry) is a good one. Is there really "no food" in the house? Growing up, we used to have "train wreck" some nights, which was basically eating all the leftovers and anything else we could scrounge together. As I've become more committed to not wasting food, train wreck has become a regular meal around here...jena stronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04100001628157963179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8696496724271056053.post-23903253279881895492008-02-26T07:16:00.000-08:002008-02-26T07:16:00.000-08:00Thanks for sharing your ideas Shawn.I struggle in ...Thanks for sharing your ideas Shawn.<BR/>I struggle in this area too. <BR/>But I have to say that thanks to your post about MoneysavingMom, I've been learning how to work our Walgreens and it's very exciting. :)Kasie @ ~The Art of Life~https://www.blogger.com/profile/00208759575130154708noreply@blogger.com
