I learned to cook because both my parents worked and I guess all of my brothers and sisters had a creative streak in them so we all traded off cooking. We also liked to listen to music while we cooked. There is a great "all about lemons" site (<a href="http://www.buy-lemons-online.com/" target="_blank">http://www.buy-lemons-online.com/</a> ) which has "music for lemon lovers" which I got a kick out of thinking about listening to lemon songs while we take your advice and make lemons out of lemonade. You can listen to clips of songs like "Lemon Tree" by Peter, Paul and Mary. If you have extra lemons or limes on hand and want to save them before they spoil you can squeeze the juice into an ice-cube tray, then transfer the frozen juice cubes to a plastic bag so you can use them one at a time or as you need them. You can use the cubes to flavor drinks. Love your blog. Shawanda,

That's been my experience anyway. If you're accustomed to eating out a lot or buying mostly convenience foods, it'll probably take quite a bit of effort to get those food costs down.

I found one for Chipotle's guacamole on ChipotleFan.com. It's absolutely phenomenal. I actually think guacamole tastes better when I make it at home. Thanks for the tip! It never occurred to me to do a Google search for copycat recipes. I think looking for copycat recipes is a wonderful idea. I found one for Chipotle's guacamole on ChipotleFan.com.

I grew up as the youngest of three kids. My mother probably cooked two or three times a week. I don't recall any of us children cooking meals for the family. I guess we were spoiled. If my mother didn't cook either her or my dad would just buy something from a restaurant. That's probably why I love them so much. :) Knowing how to cook is a big plus.

I am feeling like just tasting the menu it is truly amazing indeed. It is a good meal plan and i also feel that it is not right for me to spend around $300 on a single person.

Yes, going out for fancy dinners is nice, but rarely is it a fun experience. We like to get copycat recipes from our favorite places like Olive Garden. Just Google whatever your favorite restaurant is and copycat recipes and you'll find a ton of results. It's definitely worth the price and it's fun to see what you can create. - Austin @ Foreigner's Finances Luckily my girlfriend knows how to cook, but I'd like to throw in there that cooking can be fun, too.
