And we're succeeding. Truth be told, things have been pretty tight from the start, so we're always looking to cut corners on our budget. The best way to do that is to cook all your meals at home, and make things from scratch instead of buying prepared food. Of course, cooking takes time, but with a few shortcuts and some planning, you can eat great homemade food every day and get everything else done too. Try cooking big batches of things on the weekend, like soup or sauces for pasta, or chili.
Some dishes do take time to prepare, but remember that's another nice thing about cooking.
It gives you time to daydream.
