    I seem to have lost the ability to cook too!

    But I also HATE meal planning. I don't have a clue what I will feel like on Wednesday!

    Yes!!! Me too.
    I loved foodie mags and cooked new stuff a lot. Not anymore though. Made even more frustrating when there's only one adult. I should take on Fiona's tips.

    Do you mean for stock Lulu? There's a recipe in the edc.

    Yup, what Kim said lulu, just change the veggies listed for what you have, stick to overall same weight though.

    so relieved to find out i am not the only one having problems with this issue.

    have never understood how to meal plan. have downloaded the info, printed it out, read it, but been unable to co-ordinate it all, to put it into practice. Can totally understand i would save money/food if i did menu plan.

    every day, dd comes up with a new excuse NOT to eat. She refuses to eat Maccas, recently she refused to eat icecream. Let alone what i offer her. The paed wants me to fatten her up, ha, i would just be happy if she ate something. I haven't made a stirfry or anything "normal" to me, for so long, i've forgotten how.

    the last time i mustered up the courage to make lasagne, dd refused to eat it (it's supposedly her favourite thing to eat) because "it's too cheesy". This kid adores cheese. i cannot win. i had some myself, it was actually quite nice lasagne.

    I am also hopeless at cooking now (DH is 95% cooking and we have NO variety) and hopless at meal planning. This was our major argument for foodmotron but so far we haven't experimented much with meals.
