I'm pretty much an empty nester. I try to cook several times a week, big stuff to last. Downside, hubby & grown son are big eaters so not much for leftovers. Sometimes hubby cooks but it's generally something no one else eats.
I get semi-stressed, what to make, gotta cook again, just over it I guess. When left to myself, I'll go without before I cook for myself. That's not good either. Oh well. Pepsi and popcorn keep the hunger at bay.
