A Month of No Fast Food

So we're finally taking the plunge with our worst un-frugal habit: Going out to eat. Now I love homemade food, but I hate planning menus. I don't mind cooking if it doesn't take more than fifteen minutes to prep (cooking time is fine) and am a very picky eater. Therefore, my husband doesn't feel he can plan our meals and it falls on me.

I'm the type of person who is all or nothing, so now is the time. We're buying a chest freezer later in the week. Here is my plan:

1. Think about those nights I don't want to cook first. Quick food is always best, right? Our default is going to be hamburgers made with some black bean, oat, flax and minced onion with different seasonings. My two-year old will get plain hamburger/oat/flax/black bean patties. Since we prefer organic free-range meat we'll have to stretch it out a little - and that's okay! Chicken pot pies will be included in the freeze for later category, too.
2. Cook some things in bulk. I can easily make two batches of meatloaf and freeze one right in the pan. It freezes well, or so I've heard from my mother. (she uses the same recipe!)
3. Buy enough containers to store and keep the crockpot clean! I can always make a soup, but if the crock pot isn't clean I don't usually get to it in time. Yes, this is an investment that could be corrected by an attitude change, but if we have things in single or double serving freezer -> oven containers I think we'd be much more likely to *eat* them. And one change at a time is enough for my attitude. ;)
4. Figure out what to do with squash to store it and save as much as I can. If I can puree and freeze, I could use it in breads, muffins or soup. And it's fairly cheap this time of year!
5. Make sure to have snacks for the week. Sliced veggies and dip, perhaps, and flax-oat chocolate chip cookies.
6. Make dessert at least once a week. We don't order dessert out very often, but it would be nice to have Sunday dinner bread pudding or the like.
7. Set aside a cup to use as a biscuit cutter for hamburgers and crackers. PB&J crackers are more easily made than sandwiches for me, and the size would be great for my toddler. :) And somehow, I missed out on the biscuit cutter setting up my kitchen. I should ask my mother, the kitchen guru, if she has an extra before making the effort to use something that won't cut quite as well.
8. Make a large Sunday meal with meat enough for "plan-overs." Ham to reuse, roast to reuse, etc.

That's what I've got so far. There are a few other frugal things I'm doing (I'm trying to grow some cucumbers and tomatoes indoors) and individual specific things (considering a rice cooker for my sushi) but that's the gist. Do you have any other suggestions or things that work for you? Or that you think would work well?
