Are you always struggling with planning meals for your spouse and children? Doesn't everyone? Cooking isn't so puzzling,but it takes effort coming up with new notions and when I do think of anything I usually don't have the ingredients on hand, which either ends my project right then and there or is cause for a trip to the store. Planning meals arranges my thoughts and allows me to lay out what I'm going to prepare for the next week or two.

Yes the kids like it, but it is not good for their health or your waistline. Many nights after work you just don't want to go out again after getting home.
The result of not planning meals and having a simple shopping list. Always spending too much money, the monthly budget was getting spent on unnecessary items.

We weren't taking time to talk around the dinner table , get to know your family.
It's hard to believe the total time spent every month by people poring over cookbooks, three hours a week, twelve every month. That's a lot of page flipping. My guess is most of the task is wasted with nothing to show for your effort, no shopping list or meal plan to help with your chores.
