Grocery List for Awesome Looking Food I Plan To Make This Week (aka don't you wish you lived here so I could pawn some of this off on you?)
-oatmeal, apples, walnuts, and red grapes (it's going to end up being more like a warm, oatmeal-y fruit salad than anything else.)
-various awesome veggies because I already have all the stuff to make the hummus
-broccoli because I already have the cheeses I want, and the pasta
Saving money from not eating out has become dramatically easier since I discovered I don't hate cooking, I just hate standing on feet and legs that already ache. Not standing 8+ hours daily? STRIKINGLY INCREASED QUALITY OF LIFE.
There's also the plus that I now have more experience doing this shit, so I make fewer mistakes, get less frustrated, and my ability to reliably produce good flavors and textures has grown exponentially. (Also, also, helps that I can sometimes get mom to pick up the tab for the more expensive ingredients, so stuff tastes even better. As a bonus for her, she gets to eat good food without paying a tip. EVERYONE WINS.)
