    I have a "take out" or "fast food" addiction too! I try to remind myself that I could be buying ALL of my groceries for the amount my husband and i used to spend on take out. Before we got a better handle on our finances, that was $600 a MONTH! ridiculous.

    trying whats called "once a month cooking" or OAMC - it helps me to have shortcuts prepared ahead of time. I always have ziploc freezer bags of onions, celery, carrots and green pepper. I also like to make a whole chicken in the crock pot and eat some for dinner, shred the rest and freeze for chicken tacos, casserole, etc. Then I use the bones and giblets to make stock which is wonderful and sooooo much better tasting than store bought chicken broth (i'm allergic to MSG).. I also have in my freezer right now, homemade cream soup, specifically, cream of celery, than can be used the way I'd use a can of it (again, MSG in canned soup).

    For me, not a very good cook, it helps to have shortcuts on hand :)

    These are actually reall good ideas! I need to use my crock pot and my breadmaker more often.

    I eat out a few times a week. I kind of don't have a choice. So long as you make healthy choices it's fine.
