OMG! One of my favorite subjects! I have over 1000 cookbooks and still can't qiut buying them. First, let me tell ya, you can really save a lot of money by joining the good cook (http://www.thegoodcook.com) or buying from Jessica Biscuit (http://www.ecookbooks.com/) or amazon. Top 5? Tricky? Ok, I'll try not in any particular order though.

Meals per month not cooked at home

I'm like you, one meal a week, usually on friday night when we go grocery shopping after work. But now that it is farmers market season, we will have breakfast out before the market.

How many stores do you shop at for your food?

Every week I get my eggs and meat from my local butcher, the I stop by Vitamin Cottage for organic produce, grains, beans and dairy. Then its off to the supermarkert chain to get the rest of what I need. Its farmers market season now, so that'll add one more stop. My husband and I spend 1/2 a day shopping!

Since the kids have left the nest, I never have anyone to eat with anymore. I am embarrassed to say it's usually the mayonnaise and banana sandwich or a baked potato for me. I need some new ideas. lol

The dish of choice would have to be baby spinach, bibb lettuce, portabello mushrooms, sliced Vidalia white onions, toasted almonds in a Balsamic vinegar and olive oil vinaigrette.

I like to make a casserole or big dish of something so I can eat off of it the whole week. Homecooked all week and only actually cooking once.
