I like the menu idea, I hadn't thought of that. I think I'll save that until they are actually living together, hopefully by that time they will be able to cook and can make an actual menu of stuff they know how to make.
What we are doing right now is every Wednesday and Friday she comes over and we go to the store, then come home and they both cook while I just supervise.
So you think they should just jump right in and start making recipes that appeal to them and not so much, "ok this is how you boil water" kind of thing?
Yes amonkie, they will only be cooking/shopping for themselves. They will both be in college full time and my son will have a part time job.
It's harder for me because I cook without regard to time/cost. So in a way, I'm learning to cook quickly, on a budget. I'm trying to add up what potential meals cost and make sure they will be affordable for them.
I seem to keep coming back to pasta, veggies, meat with a sauce as being quick and half veggies can be used the next day in maybe a soup or something.
