Am I the only one who dreads the whole menu planning experience? Keeping that delicate balance of healthy and cost effective has always been a source of problems for me. Why is it that all the cheap foods are horribly fatting? Nothing would make me happier than buying fresh organic produce, but oy... Have you SEEN the price of organic avacados? I'm in search of healthy, cost effective meals that a husband with the tastebuds of a three year old would appreciate. Is it a hopeless cause? Am I destined to eat hamburger helper and EasyMac? Hints, tips, tricks, and general advice is always appreciated. I've yet to delve into the mystery that is my brand new crockpot, so I KNOW there is a secret world of happiness in slow cooking. This is a cry for assistance from the newbie, and I know you brilliant ladies (and gentlemen if there are any around here) are up for the challenge. Go forth and advise!
