SUPPER ME!
My problem is a lack of planning and time.
supper me!
different tastes in food. my husband says he’s not picky but his grocery shopping is very one-sided.
SUPPER ME!
Biggest challenge is ensuring my daughter has time to eat a healthy dinner that provides energy and nutrition between classes, and that she can eat at the table instead of in the car while traveling to classes.
Supper me!!!! I have a husband who eats like a horses, and horses that eat like horses too, but I have trouble having the right items to cook and the time to cook it!
SUPPER ME!
My biggest problem is getting to the grocery store often enough to have food in the fridge that hasn’t gone bad!!! I prefer to shop in bulk at Costco, but don’t like going every week.
Supper me!
Supper me baby!
SUPPER ME!
I have a hard time getting all my food to be done at the same time!
SUPPER ME! I’m horrible at meal planning but love to cook. I tend to get into a food rut and need to get out!!
SUPPER ME!
The hardest thing for us is deciding what to make for dinner! The planning!
SUPPER ME!
…I have the hardest time following through with my planned meals of the week. I usually plan ahead and set aside recipes that I want to try out, but by the time I get home from work I’m too tired to actually prepare them. Making meals ahead of time has proved to be the most effect in preventing me from eating fast food and frozen meals! lol
SUPPER ME pleeeeeeaaaase!!!!!
Supper Me!
I never have the time to prep for dinner or the energy…by the time I get home from work I’m to hungry to be patient and wait for something to cook. Probably why I love the crockpot!
SUPPER ME!
My biggest challenge is figuring out how to please both my uber-Midwestern and my husband’s much-more-European palates in the same meal…a designated meal plan might just save a lot of disagreements. :)
SUPPER ME! I love to cook, but my pans are falling apart!
SUPER ME!!! Our biggest challenge is making something the whole family will enjoy. I’m a vegetarian, hubs and kid are not. Makes for some interesting dinners!! :)
SUPPER ME!”
SUPPER ME!
I absolutely HATE planning out meals. I enjoy cooking for special occasions and baking, but when it comes down to the nitty gritty (or, daily meal planning), I want to pull my hair out! Thank goodness for a husband that enjoys cooking!
SUPPER ME! It’s hard to figure out healthy options without things getting boring!
Supper Me! My biggest challenge is finding meals that all five of my kids will like. Would love some new pots and pans to make mealtime prep more fun (at least for me!).
Supper me! My biggest mealtime challenge is being too exhausted to make what I had planned on making at the end of the day. I try to plan supper early in the day to avoid the “what will we have” dilemma in the evening. However, I usually overshoot as far as complexity and end up eating a lot of pasta :)
Supper me! I hope I win this one. Thank you for the giveaway.
SUPPER ME!!
My biggest challenge is just figuring out what to cook!
SUPPER ME
SUPPER ME! I have a toddler and a full-time job — meaning no time to cook or plan meals. Help!
Supper me! I’m horrible at planning… So when I get home from work with my daughter around 6pm she is starving and I have to scramble to make her something before her complete melt down and by the time my husband gets home she is fed but I’m starving!
SUPPER ME!
My biggest struggle is variety. I tend to get stuck with a few go-to recipes during week days and need a little boost (aka kick in the behind) to try something new.
SUPPER ME! The hardest part of cooking is def. grocery shopping! :)
Supper Me!
I love cooking, but often need a little direction – this would be perfect for us!
Supper me!
My husband and I always have the hardest time planning meals. We either don’t have many ideas or the recipes we want to try..we don’t have all the ingredients for!
SUPPER ME!
Supper Me!
I actually like finding recipes and meal-planning, but I find by Wednesday or Thursday I’m pooped and don’t feel like cooking anymore. Need to find things that can be prepared on the weekend and easily cooked later in the week.
SUPPER ME!
I always forget to take frozen things out to thaw. Normally it’s chicken which is kinda the star of the meal in most cases.
Supper me! I am terrible at planning meals — I never leave myself enough time to do it effectively.
Supper me!
I love to cook. Only problem is that i cook when friends come over because I don’t like tons of leftovers for just me. So it costs me a fortune because I have to go out and start from scratch when purchasing in order to complete a meal for two!
SUPPER ME! My issue is that is JUST ME! and I have already ever had to plan meals for less than 4 people, and leftovers… over it at the 3rd time
SUPPER ME! My could be narrowed down to a lack of planning.
My *problem* could be . . . a failure to review my comments before posting?
Supper me! My biggest challenge is figuring out variety. I find a few dishes I like and then get bored and uninspired.
SUPPER ME!
I love to cook, but I always seem to be missing one or two key ingredients to any dish I want to make. I’ve gotten pretty good at substitutions though. :)
Supper Me! I just worked out a meal plan/grocery list for breakfast, lunch and dinner for my new years diet/exercise program I’ve decided to do. This would be a great help to that as long as they cater to Vegetarians!
SUPPER ME!
My biggest challenge is that I am a picky eater and my husband will eat anything. Which means he gets bored with my cooking very easily and since he loves to cook, he gets a little too wild with his made up recipes and I tend to think they are over seasoned.
SUPPER ME!
Biggest obstacle to dinner is cooking something the whole family likes.
Supper me!
Hmm, biggest challenge is finding the time and energy to actually make meals!
SUPPER ME! with a husband in grad school and NO time, it’s a serious challenge to make quick, healthy meals!
SUPPER ME! My biggest difficulty is buying enough groceries at the begining of the week to actually make a weeks worth of meals/lunches out of.
SUPPER ME!
My husband is a chef (and also full time scientist..) so my biggest challenge has been making meals that he’ll find delicious and tasty, and not bland! (Since yeaaaah. I burn rice on a regular basis…)
SUPPER ME! My biggest challenge is figuring out what to cook for sure!
SUPPER ME!!!
My biggest challenge is cooking for myself. When the guy isn’t out of town its easy, but cooking for just me, that’s my downfall.
SUPPER ME! My biggest challenge when cooking mealtimes is me. I’m a horribly picky eater. All this time people thought it was because I just wasn’t willing to try things. I’m now finding out I have sensory issues. Certain tastes, textures, and smells can make me physically ill. I look at foods and think they look great, but I know based on a smell/texture that I can’t eat it. It’s very frustrating! Sadly, my daughter seems to have inherited the same issues. :(
SUPPER ME!
My biggest issue in the kitchen is that I like to try a new recipe each night. Too many recipes out there in cyberspace!! Because I am always trying something new, I always forget about just cooking something NORMAL, like meatloaf or chicken cutlets. I need to stop searching for recipes and just cook the stuff I know.
Supper me!
I have a lot of things I’m good at cooking, but my husband and I seem to just stare at the fridge every night, not really in the mood for anything, and if we ARE in the mood, we don’t have the time.
SUPPER ME! The most challenging part of cooking for me is what to make and having the right ingredients at that time. Planning ahead is difficult!
Supper ME!
My biggest challenge when it comes to planning meals is remembering to pull the meat out of the freezer to defrost!!! I think it defrosts better if it is able to sit in the fridge rather ran going in the microwave on Defrost!
SUPPER ME!
Biggest challenge is having our fridge stocked every day. Instead, it is stocked for a couple of days and then is back to not knowing what to make for dinner so we either have cereal or go out/order in.
Supper Me!!
The hardest thing about meals in our house is that my husband and I have such different likes and dislikes when it comes to food. I wish he liked more veggies so I could cook one meal we both like!!
COUPLE ME!
Biggest challenge is remembering to plan ahead and thaw things in the morning!
SUPPER ME!
Biggest challenge is getting on the plate fast for my growling tummy!!
