I live alone, work full time, sometimes crazy hours, and one of my mostly dreaded chores is thinking what to cook and preparing meals. Cooking for one sucks! I have said for years that I wish someone would just drop off dinner at my house every day, and I wouldn't even care much what it was, as long as I didn't have to prepare it. Lol! So, last night on FB, a local catering company (small family owned, this is a very rural area) is advertising HOME COOKED AND DELIVERED DINNERS, Monday thru Friday for $7! They post the menu a couple weeks ahead of time and ask that you order by noon the Saturday before. The meal includes a meat/main dish, salad and dessert. I don't think I could justify spending the money 5 days a week, but I usually have a good idea of my upcoming weeks schedule so days that I work late, or seem super crazy, this would be great! I am definitely going to try 1 and see if I think it's worth it! I've been saying for years that someone should offer this service! I am very excited  |

You should definitely give it a test run! You might find that you can make 2 meals stretch into 3 - you never know until you try it. I'll be interested in hearing how it works out for you.  |

Stand back. I have a budget, and I know how to use it.

She won't do it. For starters, if there are income requirements she won't meet them and second, if I am not home, she only answers the door for Domino's and DB. And her other excuse will be her food allergies

That sounds fantastic! Even if you do it twice a week, that would be a huge weight off you!

The menu sounds pretty good but maybe a little high in calories, especially while I'm doing Weight Watchers, but, we'll see. I'm excited to try it! |

Since you get the menus in advance, you can always compensate for the calories, either that day, or the day before or after.
I don't know what you do for lunch during the week, but if you know you're getting a great PREPARED meal that night, I'm guessing it would probably be easier for you to eat less / lighter for lunch that day, since you know you'll have a great meal to look forward to lol.
