It can be pretty tedious each day trying to figure out what to make. When my kids were growing up it seemed like a minefield navigating around the preferences and needs of all 6--and for a time 8--of us. It wasn't that I tried to accomodate every taste at every meal, but at least at some point every week.

And now things are still difficult but in a different way. All the girls have grown up and moved to their own apartments and I am cooking for just the two of us. Instead of navigating everyone's taste, I now have to try not to get in a rut. One way I have done this is by this easy plan to make simple meals with 3 ingredients. In this video I teach how to do it.

Of course, this isn't the only cooking idea I have on this channel. In fact, the channel has lots of tips on budgeting and time management, in addition to cooking and helping foodbanks.
