I mean, it's not like basics like spaghetti, or burgers, or whatever are that hard. I mean, at the very least, Hamburger Helper was made for a reason. I'm not a master chef by any means, and I can truthfully say that I dont "like" to cook. But as an adult person living in my own place, who likes to eat, I kind of find that cooking is a necessity.

I mean, eating out is ...I can't even imagine!! I mean, eating out is great and awesome when you are too pooped to cook, but going out all the time?! Not only is it incredibly expensive and super wasteful with small children (they either don't like it or only eat half), but usually the portions are pretty darn big. Wouldn't you ALWAYS be full? It'd be hard to eat healthy all the time, too. There are only so many salads you can do ;)<br /><br />I'm not the best at cooking, but at least I can follow a recipe. I think everyone can. <br /><br />My favorite quick and easy meal is usually baked potatoes. Okay, they aren't quick, but if you stab them with a fork a dozen times, rub them in oil and sea salt, they come out super crispy and delicious. Plus, you don't have to do anything while they're cooking. And everything is good on top of a potato.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13174289472718875654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-13985990432826752432015-01-09T23:07:16.242-06:002015-01-09T23:07:16.242-06:00I can't imagine going out to eat that often. ...I can't imagine going out to eat that often.

My cousin is 18 and is living with my parents right now and she has no idea how to cook a dinner for the family--I find that pretty ridiculous because my (younger than her by far) sisters make dinner for the family every day. Doesn't have to be anything exotic-I like easy, tasty dinner. We eat a lot of rice and vegetable combinations here. I actually like my own home-made food better than just about any food in the world, so I'm really glad that we have a kitchen here. Some of the other teachers here don't have an actual kitchen, just an electric hot plate in their room--that would make me sad.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07894832851934334471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-12425255842967677722015-01-09T18:21:24.936-06:002015-01-09T18:21:24.936-06:00Favorite easy and quick recipe:

My favorites are usually ground turkey sauteed with taco seasoning or sriracha and soy sauce, roasted veggies (zucchini and brussels sprouts are my go-tos) and either brown rice or a quinoa salad. I heat it up in the microwave with some cheese and hot sauce, and the usually sprinkle some raw almonds on top.Clara Lnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-1884108741805067272015-01-09T14:06:31.233-06:002015-01-09T14:06:31.233-06:00I don't understand people who don't cook e...I don't understand people who don't cook either..especially with kids?

Yeah, you have to have some patience to actually learn how, but overall, it's really not hard. And there are TONS of super easy, simple recipes out there tailored specifically for people who don't like to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Heck, Rachael Ray basically built her empire over the idea of simple 20 minute meals (the fact that the stuff she makes can't literally be made in less than 20 minutes is besides the point).<br /><br />Anyway. I don't have Starbucks here but I'm gonna cheat and enter the giveaway anyway because I can. If nothing else my mom can always use a surprise pick me up gift card. ;)Angihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00394336849612797834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-54964663829722849702015-01-09T10:41:14.122-06:002015-01-09T10:41:14.122-06:00i don't understand how you can't cook. gro...i don't understand how you can't cook. growing up, i had friends that their mom didn't cook - she bought cooked sausages and 2 minute noodles (ramen? maybe?) and thats what she served her kids every.single.night. cereal for breakfast, vegemite or peanut butter sandwiches for lunch. she didn't cook and they didn't eat out! i don't understand! what a waste of money not to mention so unhealthy!<br />i am not the worlds best cook, far from it - i'm learning though! i'm not a big meat eater and i have celiacs so no gluten - my husband is picky and likes meat, so it's hard to find meals we both like. but heck if i can feed us, she can feed her family.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10125290724625391990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-44252472566898704772015-01-09T10:32:19.607-06:002015-01-09T10:32:19.607-06:00My go to recipe for dinner - Baked Spaghetti!!

The money spent alone on eating out kills me, and I do love to go out to eat. But not daily. <br /><br />Easiest meal ever is baked chicken with olive oil & spices, steamed broccoli, and roasted potatoes or rice.

It's even easier to make a big batch of something on the weekend and freeze it in individual containers for lunch and dinner throughout the week. Crazy!! My easy go-to meals is chicken breasts individually wrapped in tin foil with some veggies, seasoning and olive oil. It's literally a meal in a package. You can stick potatoes in there, carrots, peppers...whatever. Then you just leave it till it's done.
