Introduction	My husband and I are Midwestern parents who are trying to do it all, have it all and eat it all! After nearly 11 years of marriage, we have found that our time in the kitchen has deepened our relationship, improved our communication skills and evolved our sense of humor. But after the arrival of our son in 2010, the fun we were having in the kitchen was also taking a toll on our expenses. Beginning this year, we’ve decided to do things a little differently, with the goal of rebuilding our savings and continuing to enjoy food on a $50 a week family dinner budget. The difficulty is that I am an ovo-lacto vegetarian. My husband loves meat! Our son, well, he’s a sometimes picky toddler! Our goal is to prepare affordable, nutritious meals that each of us enjoys, while preserving the joys of family dinner time. I hope we can inspire other couples and parents out there to do the same.
