Comments on: I confess my sins about meals and picky eaters http://www.susiej.com/meal-planning-help-is-on-the-way/ yoga, remedies, recipe, healthy snacks, tips, bedbugs Tue, 22 May 2012 15:12:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Julie http://www.susiej.com/meal-planning-help-is-on-the-way/comment-page-1/#comment-24241 Julie Tue, 29 Jul 2008 15:11:23 +0000 http://www.susiej.com/index.php/meal-planning-help-is-on-the-way/#comment-24241 More on that comment, I am about ready to say the heck with it and just let them continue to eat out of a box, can, freezer, whatever. Trying to come up with a meal that will please finicky people is extremely stressfull. It puts me on edge and makes me feel very defensive and inadequate. I keep hearing stuff like "we're just not used to that." Well there is a lot of things that I have had to get used to. You would think that they could at least "try." I mean really, how long can that excuse be used. TOTALLY FED UP!!! And very irritated.

I am newly married, mother of four of my own girls and stepmom to two girls, 18 and 16 and one boy, age 13. I have always been told that I am a good cook, my girls, 22, 20, 17, and 13, have never been picky and have their favorites. I love to cook and everything is homemade, I do not cook from a box, prepackaged or convenience foods. This has been a really tough two months. I married into a family where the mom did not cook, kids ate out of a box. This is a tough time. The girls don't complain too much, I get some wierd questions about food but the boy makes a comment about everything. Before we got married, he did tell me that he didn't plan to eat my food. He does eat somethings but comments about everything. I am so sick of cooking and it is so degrading. I've had it!!!! Any suggestions? Tell you what.

They had something similar in my cooking light magazine within the last couple months. I am sure that not only will my meals be better, my grocery bill will go down because I won't be constantly running to the store.... YOU, Susie, are my inspiration for SO MUCH!!!

It takes a lot of commitment and dedication to stick to it though. The picture is just lovely. Having a weekly menu does help a lot.

I planned the menu in advance, completed my grocery shopping in one trip and was set for a week or two at a time. I'm not sure when it changed (possibly when the morning sickness hit), but lately I've been planning dinner about half an hour before it starts. That usually means going to the store and finding something fast and easy to make. I need to get organized again. I used to be more organized about dinner.

I understand how meal planning can become such a chore. I like keeping frozen leftovers for those nights that I just don't feel like cooking. I post a bunch of my recipes on my blog, and I just added the easiest lasagna recipe ever..... I love to cook too. I understand how meal planning can become such a chore.

I'm getting better now, and cooking again, but ugh, I agree with your friend. I would love someone to just give me ideas what to make each day. It's my least favorite part of my day.
