I am also a recipe-follower and married to a “let’s wing it and see what happens” type of cook. I am always envious of people who can just look at a recipe, “get the gist,” and do their own thing. I wish I had that level of confidence! Maybe one day when my time isn’t so valuable and groceries aren’t so expensive 😆
I know! I'm always like "what if I mess up and the meal is ruined?" It's never happened thankfully but I love having the guidance of a recipe to back me up
I'm impressed at how low your grocery budget is! I need more tips to cut our costs. I love cooking but lately, I'm getting burnt out because I'm not entirely sure what my kids like to eat other than goldfish and applesauce. It's a little discouraging when I've spent 30 mins cooking something to hear them immediately complain about it... even if I enjoy my meal!
Oh I know. This is our constant battle right now and pretty much every day I ask "what's the point?" Between both kids, they eat one full meal, but I feel like I'm messing up if I don't offer them a well-balanced meal - whether they will eat it or not. I continue to hope that exposing them to foods will pay off but the amount of food waste it creates really bothers me.
