[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1429499, member: 240838"] Hi hun! I understand the financial end but it's actually much cheaper for me than the way I used to eat. Protein isn't cheap so now it just goes much further. I don't buy any junk stuff and that's generally more expensive. Just protein, veggies and avocado for the most part. I buy some more expensive proteins like lamb and beef but I balance that out with chicken, turkey,eggs and canned tuna/ salmon. I am fortunate ( if you can call it that) that this came on after my kids were grown and gone. I know how difficult it would be to have to shop and cook for them now. Even when they visit it can be challenging. All that food around all the time. Not to mention we are ALL foodies and no stranger to a knife and fork! I just keep it simple when they're here. A protein, veg and salad and for them I make a starch like rosemary garlic sweet potatoes and I cook loads so there's left overs for them. My son prefers white potato with cheese and bacon so I make a huge batch and scoop onto a cookie sheet with an ice cream scooper and freeze. He takes whatever he wants and heats it. Less time I. The kitchen and more time to spend with them. It's more a matter of finding the right routine and then set auto pilot. Yes please let me know.... it could solve/ help loads of things for you :) [/QUOTE]
