I'm more of a planner in the kitchen, just because I always have so many recipes I want to try out. But I also love the freedom and the creative push of having to use whatever ingredients you have at hand (in my case, it's usually leftovers, but I do love the concept of farm box subscriptions!).
I understand the planning aspect. It definitely makes things easier. I have never regretted a farm box sub!
I somehow seek the chaos and the challenge and, contrary to most, I find it very satisfying. I actually wrote a whole intro post about why I cook free style and taking on the challenges, in case you are interested:

Thanks for the nudge for the lentil post! It's been in my drafts folder for a long time, I should get around to working on it.
