Packing Food for a Family Trip
We are going on a family fishing trip in Aug. of 2009. I am trying to designate what everyone brings for meals etc. Right now I am trying to figure out how many pounds of potatoes to take with us. We don't want to carry too much extra with us but we don't want to buy to much extra while we are there. Our big meal for the day will be the last meal of the day. How many pounds of potatoes should we plan for for a meal? Any hints or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have a family of 3 and am wondering if cooking from scratch can be financially beneficial for such a small family. I'd love to do it but am afraid it won't be cost effective. I read a lot about cooking and freezing items - do you freeze food in Ziplock baggies or plastic containers?

Plan To Have Leftovers and Always Use What You Have!
One of my best food tip is to plan meals at least 2 weeks to a month at a time. Make a menu for each day and a dessert. This works well in using what you have and not wasting food. One example of this is to make meat loaf for dinner and a plain white sheet cake for dessert....

Planning a Grocery List
I've decided it's time for change, so my question is, what does your average grocery list look like and what meals do you use those ingredients to make? I know it's a lot to ask, but i'm clueless on cooking.
