I have a feeling that I will be the odd one out here but, do you ever have
to change the way you are cooking things? I do simply because of our
varying schedules. There were years when I needed to have a quick meal so
we often ate things like pasta, or I would do a lot of the prep work ahead
of time, like cutting up veggies. I could also rely on some frozen foods
like potato products and fish sticks although we really don't eat those
things often.

But then things changed and we needed an instant meal because we were
dragging ourselves home late. Sometimes during that time period, we ate out
because it was just quicker to get the food in us than to drive all the way
home. I used the Crock-Pots a lot during that time and we ate a lot of
soups and stews.

But now? We are all on totally different schedules. I have no problem ever
getting my own meals. As I'm sure you all know, I am happy to eat a bean
taco or burrito or even just a plate of assorted veggies. I can throw those
things together in a hurry. But husband and daughter are coming and going
at all hours of the day so trying to plan a hot meal that will be ready when
they need to eat is often impossible. Once in a while I can actually time
it right.

So... Now I am looking for recipes so that I can make things that reheat
well. That way I can cook things ahead of time and they can just nuke stuff
if I am not here.

But it is presenting a problem in using up some of the stuff that I used to
make. Like frozen potatoes and fish sticks. I have some to use up but I
need to find a day when at least one of them will be here for me to fix them
fresh. Well, obviously not exactly fresh as they are frozen foods. But
stuff like that does not reheat well.

Anyway... Do you find that you have to keep changing your game plan when it
comes to meals?
