Another thing that my family does is participate in a dinner co-op. We can save money because it’s more economical to make a bunch of dried beans (or whatever- in bulk), we eat much better, and we only cook an in-depth meal once a week. Three other nights, food is delivered to our door.

All great ideas. I like to cook large amounts of food on the weekend and use them during the week to help save time on cooking and cleaning every day of the week. Also, local is definitely the way to go as you get so many choices of fresh produce for a fraction of the cost at grocery stores.

I find that I get more excited about cooking when I’m trying a new recipe. Making the same boring meals week after week gets so tiring and makes me want to avoid my kitchen. When I have a new recipe to try, suddenly I’m excited and want to be in my kitchen.

With kids try introducing vegetables in something else or add some sort of sauce to it. Then they will be more likely to eat it and can then transfer to eating them without the sauce and on their own.

Yes-that’s exactly how I feel sometimes. After coming home from school and work and running errands, it’s hard to be in the mood to whip up a tasty and nutritious meal for the family. However, recently I’ve been better because I’ve learned to be more resourceful by making dishes that I already had foods for in my refrigerator that way no food gets spoiled and goes to waste and my family gets a healthy meal! I also love fruits and veggies because they are a convenient and healthy alternative as opposed to chips/ candies.
