Eating at home

[mstng86]

Start cooking multiple meals on one of your days off. You can cook a full weeks worth if you do it right

Crock pot recipes are easy as shit.

Get a stainless pan rated to go in the oven and start pan searing chicken breast then finishing in the oven. Then just find some simple sauces and vegetables you like to go with it or put it over rice or pasta. Getting a grill you enjoy using also help, except for the sun going down early this time of year is awesome for grilling.

Made this the other night, except I made the sauce in a separate pan with a lot less butter and added some chopped onion instead of green onion, and it was excellent over brown rice.

Ground meat. You can use it to make tacos, sloppy Joe, spaghetti, meatloaf, chili, etc. All simple, and all good leftover. Ground bison is a lot leaner, but more expensive.

I recently took a look at my bank statement online. I started looking at where I spend my money to see if I can come up with a few ways to save and start getting out of debt. Tired of debts hanging over my head.

And good God. The amount I've spent over the past year eating out all the time is just not right. No one should spend that kind of money on food. Im no chef but damned if im not going to learn. The wife can cook some stuff but she just eats out all the time too. So we made a resolution to start eating at home and stop wasting all this money.

So what do you all do? What are some simple things to make for a beginner? I recently tried oven cooked chicken legs and fried potatoes and onions. Banana pudding for dessert. Turned out pretty well. What are some of your staples that dont take too awful much time to cook, and arent too awful complicated? I got to come up with some ideas for every day of the week. And I dont mind eating leftovers like some people. And i mean for a real meal, not just pop tarts or a pbj sandwich
