Boy, I’d love to claim a Wolf stove! LOL
We do eat at home every night of the week except for date night.
Since it’s just two of us I freeze leftovers for super easy meals on late nights. It works well for us.

Kristen, I love this! All through my childhood, and even when I was an adult and still living at home, my family ate dinner together every single night. It became an important ritual for us, and helping my Mum and Dad (he’s an ex-Navy cook) in the kitchen certainly started my own love of cooking and creating memories through food.
Now that I live out of home with my boyfriend we still eat dinner together every night. We don’t currently have a dining room so we usually eat in bed, but when we move into our new house I cannot wait to have a big dining room table that we can gather at every night.
Your tips are wonderful There’s nothing better than cooking together, and planning makes everything so much easier! Let’s reclaim the kitchen!

I feel so much better about myself when I meal plan. And my family seems less stressed.

We are just the opposite – we eat 90% of our meals at home – some weeks it’s even higher than that. One of the advantages of living out in the middle of nowhere – even if we flirt with the idea of going out, it’s more trouble that it’s worth, most of the time. But, I’m also not a planner – I get out some sort of protein in the morning, but most of the time I have no idea what I’m cooking until at least 5. Fly by the seat of my pants type of girl, I am 😉
