It is well known that I don’t cook. (yes, I don’t like to cook, clean or do laundry – I’m pretty sure my husband didn’t marry me for my domestic flair). My usual excuses are that I don’t have time to meal plan, and that my husband only buys lunch fixings. I will also admit to being terrible about sticking to a meal plan because, invariably, what I thought I’d want on Thursday turns out to be exactly what I don’t want on Thursday.
