As you can see Stacy is our Rock Star in the kitchen, she can bake and cook anything. I always want to go eat there.
However, for those of us that work out side the home or don't have the skills listed above(not as to say you can't learn), I would like to add some tips that work for me.
The biggest things I have learned here are
Time savers in the kitchen:
1. Precooking foods that can be used and warmed later or used as ingredients later. I often do this with chicken and turkey.
This sounds all good in theory BUT I have extremely picky eaters and a husband that eats late.
oh yummy.
You have some motivation!!! Can you share please??? I wish I could get DH to eat meat as an ingredient, but it won't happen. I can get it once twice a week, so its a start.
I've never been a big fan of beans, and stuff like that, though I've never really tried. I should look for some recipes.
My "big" score this week was we did a fryer chicken in the crockpot. Two days later I used it to make chicken noodle soup. I Had enough soup left over to freeze for when Flounder is born, and my parents are here!!!
I have been doing meal planning to the best of my abilities.
We have 4 people usually, but DD is away at college some, so maybe we can call it 3.5, but she is home a lot of weekends and I send food up to her. We are at about $75 a week, and probably if you push it, maybe $100.
I have the same experience with the Crockpot (though I do use it quite often).

Lots of great ideas here!
Arryl, I may be able to help you with the crockpot question, though I'm no expert I use mine all the time. :)
