Also, I generally don't think you should feel bad about kibble. Everyone has days when they don't feel like cooking. You can just contro, the quality of your kibble. Tortilla or whole grain chips with hummus is both delicious and healthy, cheese and crackers only nominally less so. I also like to keep "easy" fruits qnd vegtables around (tomatoes, grapes, apples, cucumbers, salad) around to fill out my diet.

Also, I find that I always need an easy snack when I get home - I generally like an hour or so to unwind before I start cooking, but I'm usually hungry from the time I walk in.

I spend too much on food. It's my hobby, I have special dietay requirements, I prefer local and organic, and I really like cheese. Also, given my love of hosting, I'm essentially am feeding a family of four who drinks. I need to get better about it.
