Eating out, while convenient, can be both expensive and time consuming. While most people think of eating out as a way to relax and save time, they typically don’t account for the time it takes to drive back and forth to the restaurant as well as the time to order, sit and wait for the food, and eat.

We all know that cooking at home is better for both our physical and fiscal health. I get it, when you get home after a long day, you just want to sit down, relax, and have the food come to you. But if you’re going to have any chance of breaking the “grab and go/ delivery” habit, you’re gonna have to get excited about eating in.

Line a large cookie sheet with foil (I use Reynolds Non-stick Pan Lining Paper ). You could even crank the oven up to 450-475 to get the charred edges, especially if you’re cooking for a shorter amount of time. I almost always have to ask for my vegetables to be cooked more when we eat out.

For so long, we plodded along with next to nothing while our neighbors were running up their charge cards and using home equity loans to take vacations. We shopped at garage sales, turned down the heat, combined errands to use less gas, didn’t buy a lot of prepared food, cooked at home and the like.

Tell us about yourself. I am used to moving a lot! How my grandparents paid off $55,000 of their home mortgage in one year. And I cut back on lifestyle – cooking food at home, taking the bus to work vs driving and paying for parking, etc. I no longer use credit cards – only debit cards or cash.
