I cook dinner every night, it's a chore sometimes. We are not big eaters so it's a waste to go out to eat. In the heat I do make a lot of salads with chicken, or taco salad with beef. Often time the protein in salad is beans and eggs. All the meals I make are pretty easy, I like that I can control the fat, cholesterol, calories, etc. In the winter it's a lot of soups, stews, pasta, meat loaf and roasts. I always make enough for two meals and freeze it for later. Luckily we have a freezer so I also make 4 quiche's at a time and cut them in half and freeze them also. I make cookie dough and freeze that too, great for when I have a sweet tooth attack.
