Oh, and if you’re not lucky enough to win this week, you can still take the free two week trial of their service to see if it helps you stick to you resolution.

SUPPER ME!
SUPPER ME!
We do pretty well with cooking during the week, but tend to repeat the same recipes over and over. Finding new things that can be easily worked into our routine is the tough part!
SUPPER ME!
Poor planning and not enough motivation.
Supper Me!
The hardest thing for me is finding “adult” meals that also work for the kiddo. I don’t want to end up making two different entrees.
SUPPER ME!
Biggest Challenge: finding quick recipes so that I don’t snack while I’m cooking dinner.
SUPPER ME!
My biggest challenge is making it home from work in time for dinner. Plus, I’m super healthy and my fiance eats hot dogs only.
SUPPER ME!
Biggest challenge – getting my kiddos to expand their palate!
Wow, I am so, so excited! What a fun start to the year! Thank you so much, YHL…what a unique and very useful gift. Here’s to a happy, healthy 2013 for us all!
Love,
Ali
Congrats Ali!

SUPPER ME! My biggest challenge is definitely finding time during the week. I like to make big portions when I cook and freeze the leftovers for when I’m working late or just feeling lazy.
SUPPER ME!
SUPPER ME!
My challenge is preparing everything and cooking in time when I come home from work!
SUPPER ME!
With two-year old twins, finding time to put a meal together is our biggest challenge!
SUPPER ME!
My biggest challenge is planning around my husband’s dietary restrictions with some sort of variety.
SUPPER ME!
My problem is time. There are never enough hours in the day :)
Supper Me! My biggest challenge is cooking for two. It seems like all recipies are geared for families, and not just two people. It seems wasteful to cook so much!
SUPPER ME!
Planning ahead gets me every time… and when I do occasionally plan ahead, I end up not in the mood for what I had planned to make.
SUPPER ME! The clean up. I, as the male in the household, am responsible for washing. BOOM!
Supper me!
My problem is trying to make low-cost, nutritious dinners without resigning to some combination of grilled meat and veggie every time.
SUPPER ME!!!!
I am fortunate to be married to a professional chef who also likes to cook at home, so I never have to worry about what to make for mealtime… except when he is out of town,
SUPPER ME!
I think my hardest thing is sitting down to plan an entire week’s menu. It makes it hard that I’m often out of town all week for work. And you can bet that if I buy a bunch of yummy veggies on Monday morning and then leave, they will still be there when I get back on Friday or Saturday.
Hubby is rather startled by green edible things…
SUPPER ME!
My biggest challenge is getting dinner ready before 8pm. I don’t know what happens, I start thinking about it at 5:30-then it is 7:30. Oops!
SUPPER ME!
I need to learn to enjoy cooking more. It’s not a habit I like doing.
Supper me!! I blame a small kitchen and lack of time. By the time 5 o’clock rolls around I’m tired and hungry so spending an hour or two on prep time isn’t an option. (Yes, I know there are simpler recipes out there.)
Supper me! Biggest problem is being tired at the end of my 14hr workday.
Supper me!
I am just overwhelmed by the whole task of FOOD – making good choices, planning meals, getting to the grocery store, not spending a fortune, finding time to cook, hoping it tasted okay….. TOO much pressure…unless it’s summer and I can just grill. =)
supper me!
I do not have time, cannot decide meal, don’t have the gift of cooking like my husband (and I’m the one home ahhhh!), and my two babies under 2 1/2 are NOT helpful ha!
SUPPER ME!
My biggest problem is my tiny kitchen. One meal and the place is destroyed.
Supper ME!
I have a hard time actually planning before I grocery shop so I can have a fridge full of groceries with no idea what to make.
SUPPER ME!!! My biggest challenge is variety….once I find a few nutritious easy meals that my kids and hubby will eat, I tend to use them over and over. I need to get more variety in our meal plans.
SUPPER ME!
Biggest challenge is finding the time because I go to bed early and my husband comes home later.
SUPPER ME!
I love to cook, I love to plan meals and I love to eat them… The only challenge is not to gain weight after all this food!!!
Supper me!
I don’t know what it is, we go out and buy all kinds of nice groceries but by them time we get them home we’re at a loss of what to do with them. Spaghetti has become a reeeal favourite.
My biggest challenge is that my husband is a pretty picky eater. He could eat steak and potatoes every single day!
SUPPER ME! My biggest challenge is prep work. Once that’s done, it’s all good.
SUPPER ME! I would like to become more efficient.
supper me please! figuring out what to eat is our greatest challenge.
Supper me!
I have a hard time finding things that are simple to make and don’t take a lot of time, but still feel special
My problem is picking the right variety of food each week.
Supper me! My biggest challenge is not having the right ingredients handy when supper time rolls around.
SUPPER ME!
My problem is most definitely lack of time, which goes hand and hand w/ lack of planning…after my commute time and reg schedule I’m outta the house 10+ hours a day and when I get home I want to make some simple and quick…I bet if I planned a bit better over the weekends, I’d have more masterful creations…ONE DAY! :)
SUPPER ME!
I am terrible at timing everything. I never seem to be able to have anything cooked at the same time.
SUPPER ME!
Planning is the hardest
Supper me YHL & Couple Supper!
I absolutely lurve cooking. My biggest mealtime challenge is that I am a solo homeowner. I typically end up with scads of leftovers and a fridge packed with mysterious contents in Tupperware from who knows how long ago. A girl can only host so many dinner parties per week!
SUPPER ME!
My biggest challenge is that I get home from work around 6:30 or 7 and if a meal takes more than 30 minutes to make, I feel like I have no time in between eating and going to bed. And I never make time to actually plan meals, that would be so helpful.
SUPPER ME!
Just plain terrible at cooking. I once put taco shells in the toaster oven and they caught on fire!
SUPPER ME!
Biggest challenge: creative and healthy meals
SUPPER ME!
This is actually the main thing the hubs and I fight about, not money, but dinner! We both hate cooking but I enjoy eating a healthy variety and the hubs could eat pizza every day and not care. So it is a constant struggle being motivated to find cheap, easy, quick, healthy meals I can make each night! Oh yeah, I’m also a medical resident and have limited evening time often…
SUPPER ME!
Trying to figure out meals that are healthy but also that are budget conscious and suit the taste buds of hubby, toddler and myself.
“SUPPER ME!”
My biggest challenge is remembering to get the meat out of the freezer the night before – we have had a lot of vegetarian meals because of this!
SUPPER ME!
My biggest challenge is making the perfect mashed potatoes for my husband’s (apparently) discerning mashed potato tastes.
SUPPER ME!!!
