Assistant Cook
Hello!... Today is Sunday and here I am once again trying to plan a menu for the week and having the same trouble I have every week... it just doesn't come easy! So I thought that I would come to all of you and ask for advice and suggestions...
I am 51, a mother of 2 (an 18 year old son and 14 year old daughter), a wife with a husband that works night (and so is never home for dinner), and owner of 2 dogs and 1 cat. I work in an educational setting (interpreting from 7:00 am to 4:00 pm) and often have interpreting assignments at night.
So my menus must be easy, inexpensive and tasty... but how? Do I go by the sales first or what my taste buds are calling for??... Do I try to shop once a week... or every couple days (for the freshness factor)?... Do I try to get the kids involved (they don't want to do any cooking, but have a lot of opinions)... anyone have any suggestions?
Oh, and by the way -- I'm not a great cook... YET.
