when i was working, making some oven-ready meals on the occasional weekend helped us to eat less take-out crap during the week. there's lots of different dishes that you can make but casseroles are good oven-ready meals of course, and cheap, too. you could even invest in a small baking dish-for-one and leave out any meat, voila! ... everyone's happy...maybe
i didn't spend all weekend, every weekend cooking mind you (i'm not that selfless  ) but even just one meal helps, though. it takes an hour tops, but i remember how that hour during the week can feel hyuoooge. when the mood struck, i'd make lots of stuff and freeze it. |
