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!

Zac's Birthday Dinner! March 13th

So, today is Zac's birthday and instead of going out for dinner, I promised to make him whatever he wanted.  All in all, it's a great menu, he picked things that I've made before.  Well, except for his birthday cake!  He wanted an Angel Food Cake.  Now, I could have taken the easy way out and made a box mix, but that's just not me.  Always try things from scratch first!  I was so nervous, I made it last night, just in case it was a flop and I had to improvise.  But, much to my surprise and pleasure...it turned out!!!!!!!  Well, at least looks wise, we have yet to taste it!  So, anyways, following is what he picked for dinner!


Bacon Wrapped Pork Medallions

Crash Hot Potatoes

Broccoli & Cheese Casserole

Angel Food Cake

Fluffy White Frosting
