Operation Eat Out Less

January 11, 2016

I’m so excited about this new family goal!
I’ve shared a bit on social media about Operation Eat Out Less, and had a great response!
We are trying to eat out less and make home cooked meals a priority in our house.
I’m pretty good at multi-tasking a lot of to do’s. But for some reason, making
home cooked meals doesn’t always end up at the top of my to do list!
That is going to change. I think a big road block to staying on top of meal planning, is the recipes themselves!
I usually get stuck in the same recipes over and over(and get bored), or I feel like I don’t have
enough time to make really good ones and end up with boxed mac n cheese.
(which isn’t the worst thing in the world!)
Operation Eat Out Less is in full swing this week. We aren’t going extreme and
stopping eating out all together, (I love my chick-fil-a and friday pizza night)
But the regular will be eating at home and consciously putting it at the top of my list.
I enjoy cooking and baking! But sometimes I let other stresses of life turn
making dinner into a job I try to avoid instead of enjoying it again.
If you are like me, and want to put more effort into whipping up home
cooked meals that are doable and yummy…join me!
I created a Pinterest Board for this project, and I want you to join it!
Comment with your email and I’ll invite you to join the Pinterest Board.
The Board is full for now but please go check it and save recipes you love!
It’ll be the perfect place for all of us to go
for some inspiration when we are meal planning!

Sign up for my newsletter and I’ll be sharing my own weekly meal plan for you to check out each week!

I’m excited to see all of the recipes that you guys pin!
I’ll be closing the board eventually, but for now it’s open for invites, so leave
your email below if you want to be a part of it.
I’ll be doing more recipe posts as well… which my family always loves. ;)
Happy Monday!

    I need to eat out less as well! It saves so much money and cooking for yourself is better for your health!

    I’ve found a good way to stop eating out so much is to just have money problems!

    I’m joking of course but somewhat serious, since when you don’t have enough money to eat out all the time, you don’t ;)
