I decided that I wanted to get back into trying to eat more at home because 1., we are both trying to lose some weight and 2., we're wanting to re-do the budget and get our mortgage paid off. So to make this an easier thing to adhere to I thought that it was time to get back into meal planning. I did a little research on the internet and one site suggested taking 30 index cards, write down a meal on each card, and then choose 7 to make it a plan for the week. No problem, I thought. I got my index cards from the desk and sat down to complete each one. The issue came with I don't think we eat 30 different things- or at least we don't cook 30 different things. The 15 we came up with look like we are 8 year olds- macaroni and cheese with hot dogs, frozen pizza, grilled cheese. We also took everything out of the pantry to try to use up what we have already bought. I guess you have to start somewhere and we did accomplish a plan that starts tonight and runs through Friday. Here's what we got and I'm open to any suggestions for future ideas!
