Let's talk about it. Meal planning. What's your strategy?
I think back to before I moved in with Mike and sometimes wish I could still be so laissez-faire. I ate leftovers a lot. I had the time to plan ahead. We are definitely short on time around here these days. Some weeks I sit down, come up with meals for the week and do all my shopping on the weekend. And I love it! The truth is, I'm just not usually that organized.
Elephant in the room: Mike does not cook. He will make himself spaghetti or tuna salad sandwiches. That is all. We keep saying I'll teach him, but again there's that issue of time.
I ended up getting a free box of Blue Apron a couple weeks ago. Have any of you tried it or a similar service?
Guys, we really liked it. We will not be spending $50 on two meals right now because we are on a budget, but it was so nice to have all the ingredients delivered (they sent a garlic head for 2 cloves!). Mike and I cooked together and he even said at one point, "Look I'm learning to cook." It's true. He asks what diced and small diced is, but he's doing it!
Maybe down the road this can be a thing we do, but for now I will recommend it to anyone. Especially if you're learning to cook.
