Save Time, Money and Improve Your Health.

You plan your yearly two-week vacation because you want to make the most out of your time and money. Months in advance you decided what you are going to do, what attractions you will see, where you will sleep, and what restaurants will accommodate your taste and budget. It might be your most scheduled two weeks of the year.

Do you invest any time planning your weekly meals? What you eat affects your energy level, your long-term health, and your budget. If you leave your daily meals up to whim of the moment, you risk the chance of eating out more than you would prefer, spending more than you want, and seldom getting the nutrition you need. Without any planning, cooking is usually not an option because you do not know what to make at the last minute and you do not have any ingredients in the house.

Think what would happen if you spent an hour with a piece of paper and thought about your week. You know what days you could be home early enough to cook dinner and when dinner has to be extremely fast. You could look over the sales for the coming week and take advantage of them. You could go to the grocery store with a list and not risk grabbing whatever gets your attention. If planning your weekly meals sounds ridiculous, think how ridiculous it sounds to plan a two-week vacation down to the minute, but leave your health up to chance.

Let’s Cook Tonight® teaches a common sense approach to cooking and eating for maximum health, flavor and enjoyment. It makes sense to invest the time to plan your meals. You will eat better, save money, have less stress, and eliminate the guilt that results when you grab something for your kids and leave your husband to forage for himself.

Cooking is easier than you think and you are worth the time and effort it takes.

Simple cooking idea: Chicken with its bone and skin attached is less expensive. Save money and take the skin off yourself.

Thanks Gigi, great pointers! What a good way to think of planning your week.

Just think if someone really wanted to learn to cut up their own chickens, it could be done and the money saved would be awesome!
