I have a four day rule about things in the fridge. If it has been in my fridge for four days, it get eaten or frozen.
As for preparing, that is trial and error until you learn to cook, well, that is how it was for me. Watch cooking shows on tv really helped me also. After 10 years, I still tend to bake meats because that is the one way I know I can cook it and it comes out well.
As for actually eating what you have on hand, that takes self-discipline and I can't help you with that. But, I do know that knowing that I was coming home to a cooked crockpot meal has kept us from going out a ton of times. No sense in going out when you already have a meal cooked at home.
