I was intrigued when I read this \u201cMost moms cook just nine different meals<\/a>\u201d article over at NewsLite. A study of 4,000 families revealed that 9 out of 10 moms cook the same meals repeatedly. Of that group, 1 in 4 moms also had a set day of the week on which they prepared the same meal.<\/p>\n

The analytical side of me kicked in and I wondered if those numbers applied to me. Do I cook the same nine meals for dinner?<\/strong> It\u2019s hard to say. I cook whatever my husband buys for the week. (He does the grocery shopping.) I usually don\u2019t have food preferences when I cook at home, so I cook whatever my guys like. Chicken, pork, ribs and beef are the weekly staples, but I mix up how I prepare them. Do I have a set day of the week to prepare certain meals?<\/strong> Once again, my answer is \u201cnot really\u201d. I prepare meals based on the expiration dates of the meat that my husband brings home. (When we were first married, we threw away so much<\/strong> meat and produce, because I didn\u2019t think about such things!)<\/p>\n

What about you? Do you stick to the same meals or tend to mix things up? <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
