Dinner for Two

Cooking has never been something I love.  It seems all the women in my life are extraordinary cooks.  My Mamwaw is a true Southern cook through and through.  Her meals always consist of delectable meat, two-three homegrown vegetables, bread and some sort of homemade dessert.  My mom is the quintessential working-woman who spends all day at work and then comes home to put a meal on the table.  CH’s sister-in-law loves to cook and can create really inventive yummy dishes.  While I am not a “bad” cook, I do not enjoy cooking. I am much more comfortable baking.  Pies, cookies, cakes and the like are more my calling.   Sadly, Coach cannot live on dessert alone…he needs actual meals to survive.  Enter the last year and half of guilt on my part and a very understanding husband who vehemently declares that his favorite food is whatever I put on the table.  The last eight months have been extremely difficult when it comes to dinnertime.  We have fallen more and more into eating out when it comes to dinner.  Eating out eats into our finances and obviously isn’t a positive health-wise either.

Since our 2015 Family Focus is finances this month we are attempting to eat at home EVERY NIGHT for dinner.  That’s 31 nights straight of this girl cooking! For accountability purposes I will be blogging each Sunday with our menu for the previous week!

Here’s a glimpse of our January Meal Calendar!  Here’s to 31 days of dinner at home.
