--- Quote from: gospel on 15 Oct 2008, 09:05 ---It's only really cheaper if you buy in bulk and freeze (especially meats). Cooking is, no doubt, a luxury compared to the cheaper alternatives of eating out. It's really about learning something because you want to and because the stuff cooked outside is generally really unhealthy. Eating healthy, even out, is usually expensive too.

I do not agree with you. I do not think cooking is a luxury compared to eating out. $6 a meal times two and a half meals a day seven days a week is $105. I can make two sandwiches for maybe three bucks. Frozen juice is dirt cheap. Pork chops, rice, and carrot sticks is a dead simple meal and that's under $6 a head. I spend $50-$60 a week on groceries eating light breakfasts and good suppers.
I don't think your point about buying in bulk and freezing is valid either. I mean, yes, if you buy a weeks worth of groceries in a go, you should freeze the meat you're not eating that day. That's common sense. Buying a pack of four chicken breasts and eating them one or two at a time is hardly buying bulk.

This is true. I fail to consider I usually don't eat breakfast beyond some toast and maybe an egg and lunch is usually a sandwich. For some reason cooking was stuck in dinner mode in my head. But, actually looking at the math, you're absolutely right.

On Tuesday I made lemon pepper chicken with garlic green beans and potatoes with peppers and onions. It was good, really simple comfort food.
Then I just finished making chicken stuffed organic bell peppers. I really enjoyed that because I made it really southwestern style.

Thanks, now I miss my short trip to Arizona and New Mexico.

I should start doing that again. I used to do it every day, and it was great.

Best soup I've ever made:
Saute until translucent in 2 T olive oil: 1 onion, 6 cloves garlic
Add 1 tetrapak chicken broth, 3 potatoes peeled & diced, and 2 medium butternut squash. Simmer for 45 min. Use an immersion blender until soup is smooth. Add 5 T butter and 1 c. Fat free sour cream. Top with cheddar cheese.
Yum yum. It's good as soup or served over vermicelli.
