Clean means...like, im sick of not cooking and everything coming from a stupid box or freezer bag because we cant make any kind of cohesive plan. I miss fresh, home prepared, limited ingredient

Hi @Troll

I love to cook as well! Think of what can you make instead of what limitations there are.

I’d definitely buy in bulk and what’s on sale.

These 2 recipe sites are cool since you can plug in ingredients you want (or don’t want) and it finds recipe to match! Maybe that might help.

What if you made a vegetarian dish that everyone will eat and the family had a side of roast chicken? Frittata with toppings you and he can eat. Eggs in bulk save money. Quiche in a pie dish.
I see broccoli up there.. turkey and broccoli for the fam - added edamame and cashew sauce for you for protein. The little one can explore vegetables and different items with you.

Quinoa and banana for breakfast?
Broccoli and cheese?

I think there are a ton of items to get. Maybe this is an opportunity to be creative. 😉

all i know is, is that no matter what the budget, my husband eats what i cook, or he goes and fixes himself something to eat on his own.
