Thank you for sharing my piece Ellen! I'm glad you mentioned it on Notes because I didn't get any notification from Substack.

Thanks, Ellen! My husband and I plan dinners for the week ahead, and we even decide who is cooking on specific nights. We keep a few frozen options for nights when neither of us is up to cooking--Costco frozen cauliflower crust pizzas make an inexpensive dinner. We also keep some pantry staples like tomato basil soup and ingredients for grilled cheese or tuna melts. We also save money by eating less meat--a tofu or tempeh stir-fry with frozen veg is a regular in the dinner rotation, as is pasta puttanesca--we take a jar of marinara sauce and add anchovies, olives, and capers. Side benefit of more beans and veggies: at my last checkup my lab results showed improvements in my cholesterol and HDL/LDL numbers.
