Cooking at home

Let's get one thing straight: I will never be confused with anything vaguely resembling a chef. But I can follow a recipe (complexities aside). I've discovered that all these meal planning services seem to think that I need to freeze a year's worth of food at once, that my child will eat the same thing over and over, or that I have a double oven, so that I can cook 1 thing for 20 minutes at 400 degrees, and something else for 35 at 350 and have anything ready during the same mealtime. I wish I had more of a knack for this stuff. One day I might get a hang of it.

Meanwhile, I make a mean salad.
