So, are there ways to chop the bill and eat out for less? You bet.

Over the past couple of years, I've moved more toward cooking as much from scratch as I can. I've tried to isolate the places where the biggest concentration of work is in cooking from scratch, and see what I can do about it.

I’m a work-at-home, home-educating, mom of 4 little ones. I can rarely find time to sweep and scrub, much less create 30 days’ worth of frozen meals on my days off. Here is how I’ve achieved basically the same results as a traditional batch cooking plan, with the spare 30-minutes to an hour I have each day.
