I would buy a much bigger house with a much bigger kitchen and have two of everything since we both love to cook and frequently compete for space. I don't want two kitchens, just enough room for two people to cook.Originally Posted by iris lilies

I'm the cook in our house as well. I should probably start looking at more recipes and try them out because like Iris, I'm also getting pretty tired of the boring things I cook.

We tend to grocery shop together looking for weekly deals on fresh food. Then he looks for what needs to be used first and comes up with a main entree. My grocery rant is that 90% of whats at the corporate groceries here is packaged, processed food which we no longer eat much of. Food snobs we are.
Pinkytoe, we do the same thing. If tomatoes are a deal or we find ground turkey marked down, we make something using them. We are lucky to find a local Kroger (not all of them only this one) that has a good produce worker who keeps up with putting just ripe things in the clearance section. We meet her at 8am when we go. We try to never go down an aisle unless we need a specific item and try hard not to be swayed by marketing. Keeping things rotated thru our small freezer helps as well.
Exactly the same for me. I'm the main cook and I need to look for new recipes as well. LOL

In the summer my husband grills a lot so I don't have to think much about what to have, but when I am cooking I try new simple things!!! I'm happy to eat the same things, but husband likes some variety.
I am eating more and more of what I think of as “old people’s food.” Food from the store’s freezers, such as: frozen burritos, Frozen breaded shrimp, frozen pizza. None of it is very good.
The landscaping crew here yesterday brought many wrong plants, was ready to work on an incorrect area, and placement of plants they brought was a problem. I KNEW I had to be home to supervise this project and I was right.
As it turns out they were working off the first draft of our plan, doh. We changed it weeks later, and then put a hold on part of the project. The landscape designer who drew up the plan quit working there and so there was a lack of communication.
People on a FB frugality group when we were talking about housing costs, utility bills, grocery costs: people with more than the average two kids bellyaching about how much it costs to raise their kids.
I just want to laugh. You made ‘em, you pay for them. Did it not occur to you how expensive lots of kids are?
People bitch about my $30 electric bill. LOL b
Must be in the air - I was getting tired of shopping and cooking the same old standbyes so last week I told K. that we each need to come up with one new recipe per week. I chose Chicken Biryani with Basmati Rice (done completely in the rice cooker!) and K. came up with a version of homemade "Hambuger Helper with Potatoes" which actually was very good. He's such a meat & potatoes guy.
Tonight is leftover night so I don't have to think about cooking anything.
