I cooked!

missmis99 · December 2010

Now, I know for some of you this is no big deal, but we eat out A LOT! On a usual week, we eat out 4-5 nights a week at least. So, we are making a conscious decision to eat in more in order to save money. We are limiting ourselves to weekends only or special occassions.

I wasn't home Monday night, but I have now cooked 3 days in a row. This is a BIG deal for us. And now that I am on winter break, the challenge is going to keep on going.

Anyone else like us and eat out all the time?

We eat out at panera bread every 2 weeks, because we are basically obsessed with that place. Other than that I usually cook 4 times a week and we'll eat a frozen pizza every other friday and my mom will cook for us too.

We used to eat out more. About twice a week. Now we live in a pretty rural are and there are only a hand full of places we like (at least within a 30 min. drive) So now we go out just a couple times a month.

I plan out all my meals and cook about 6 days a week. I also LOVE my crock pot for days that I work It helps that I enjoy cooking and am getting pretty good Party!!!

Americas test kitchen is a great basic cookbook. My mom bought it for me when I first moved out and it has so many everyday meals in it!

I have this cookbook too and would recommend it. I also have 3 cookbooks that are 4 ingredients or less. However, since I got them last year I really haven't used them. I think it is time to dust them off.

I love to cook, but some days it is hard to cook after working all day. I started making a couple big things on Sunday to last the week. We actually eat-in more than we eat out, we'll cook or get prepared food from trader joe's that we just heat and serve. They have really good mandarin orange chicken that we make once a week or every other week, it's great and easy, just make some rice and vegg for the sides.

I absolutely LOVE to cook and try new recipes, but I feel like I never have the time until the weekends to cook something exciting and new. But that being said, DH and I really only eat out once a week; there have been weeks where we've ordered in during the week because we just don't want to cook or do dishes, but usually it's a weekend thing when we go out to eat. I'm making turkey and cheese paninis tonight for the first time, so hopefully that works out!

I cooked!
