Committing to Cook at Home & Beat the Urge to Order Take Out!

Blog Purpose: To cook at home every night and fight the urge to grab take out! I love to cook, but sometimes the convenience of grabbing fast food wins. I've decided to challenge myself to cook at home as much as possible and to share my journey with others! Hopefully other people can grab some great meals ideas from me!

About Time...I'm Back!!

You know...I kept saying to myself, trying to start a menu blog during the Holidays was not a good idea.  And, it turned out to be! LOL!  As you can see, my last post was right around Thanksgiving, things just got so hectic and I didn't cook a whole lot.  But, it's a New Year and I'm determined to get back on track!!

This new post will be a mixture of meals I did manage to cook last week and my meal plan for this coming week.  I promise to do better than my first post and you may see some of those meals being repeated here.  I won't be following any certain days of the week, just posting what I have planned.  We usually never feel like having what's planned for that day and figured it would be easier to have a list to choose from.  Clicking on the title of the food should take you to the recipe, if it doesn't, it's probably a personal recipe which I would be glad to share with anyone.  (If I followed one that is!)  I will post pictures of each item after I make them.  I'm such a visual person, I love to see what foods/meals look like!

Any questions...just ask!
