This questions plagues my life when my hubby is home, and when he is on the road. However, I must say it is much harder to figure out what to eat when he is gone and I am home alone. Do I cook a nice good healthy meal for just 1 person, or do I run through McD's for a chicken nugget Happy Meal?
Most days I end up eating something that looks more like a snack, than a meal. Hummus and Wheat Thins, or Tortilla Chips and Guacamole some how turn into a meal when I am home alone. Although if my hubby is going to be gone for an extended period of time, I will sometimes cook tacos, or spaghetti, or some other normal "meal" that I will eat for 5 straight days, 2 meals a day.
So what do you eat when your Hubs is on the road? Do you opt for take out, snack for 6 weeks, or make nice healthy well balanced meals, for just yourself??
Yea, its super hard to cook for one.
ReplyDeleteI end up snaking my way through my husband tours as well.
My suggestion is to invite your girls over for ladies night and cook.
I do this a few times a tour, its great for your health and lonely nights.
I'm the opposite I go crazy about food/cooking when he's home... I'm a vegetarian and he's NOT :) I'm pretty sure I could live for a month on $20 for groceries... I never go out to eat unless he's home... I don't understand why he gives me a crazy look when I say 'what's wrong w/ scrambled eggs'.... 'again'... I'm pretty sure that's a fabulous dinner. Quick, easy, protein, healthy right?
