I don't know about you, but I made a few...I mean a list...of New Year's resolutions, and one of those resolutions was to not eat out so much. It has gotten too easy to go out to eat or eat something really simple, the busier we get. So much so, that I almost forgot that I like to cook.
One of the hardest things about cooking each night for me, is deciding what to make. So I have decided to make a menu out every Sunday and do my grocery shopping for the week on Monday. Simple concept, I know, but strangely hard for me to do consistently. And to start the year off right, I am going to start cooking my way through the amazing food I have been pinning on Pinterest.
I am going to post a menu for the week early on Monday mornings, if you would like to cook along with me. Just click any of the food titles to be directed to the site for cooking instructions. Each week...five meal ideas with a grocery list at the bottom of each post to make things a little easier.
Happy cooking everyone : )
