We’re eating in more and more as a way of saving money. We’ve done a much better job of meal planning and we’re making sure that our leftovers don’t go to waste. We do still eat out about one time a week but we have a ‘kids eat free’ place we enjoy so half our family eats for free.

we only eat out 1 time a week.

I love to cook, so I frequently eat in, but often make “one pot wonders” since it’s just me and they are simpler. Tonight I’m going to make a real restaurant style meal (with side dishes and everything) and challenge myself to sit down at the table and enjoy it as if I were at a restaurant. I’m going to break out the real napkins and everything!

Our family of 6 much prefers eating in. We prefer fresh veggie choices and lots of whole grains. That is why Kashi is a fave with my teens even when they need a quick mean between school and rehersals. With one a carnivore and the other a veggivore it is hard to get them to agree on anything…but avoiding the eating out syndrome is one thing they share.

Last night, my boyfriend & I dined in. We tried the free Kashi frozen dinners. They were Absolutely Wonderful! We saved money, time, and gas.

I like to cook my own foods rather that eat out ..if I do I try to recreate the meal at home

I am doing the factor 5 diet.. So natural and home cooked for the first few days :) and Kashi is part of it.

Cooking at home makes it easy to eat health and I don’t have to worry what might be in my food.

This will be easy, I prefer my own cooking because then I get exactly what I want and can have a balanced meal also.

I prepare every meal at home using the best fruits, vegetables, and leanest meat. Usually chicken, turkey, or fish. Fish tacos are a favorite in this household.
