January was a Bust

Well the last time I blogged out our dinner was January. In January I made a two week dinner calendar to help "save time". Well that was a complete BUST. I think looking back my biggest mistake was that I tried to schedule complex dinner's every night to cook, And let me be honest when I have worked a busy 12 hour day the last thing I want to do is come home and cook and then clean the kitchen before bed.

So I have decided that I am going to try this again. I am going to schedule some easy dinners along with a few complex dinners. I am going to do a monthly calendar and instead of having to go by a certain meal on a particular day. My goal is to write a meal down on every day of the month on a blank calendar and when we cook the meal(on any day) then we will mark it off and at the end of the month I can see what worked for us.

The kids are out for the summer and my biggest goal is to NOT eat out very much. Now I am realistic, I know that we will eat out some. Due to I still work 12 hour shifts, the husband still works nights, and Hunter is playing baseball (which is mainly in the evenings) But I would like to cut it to once a week or less. So I am going to work on my meal list and when I am done I will post it so yall can see what is being eaten in the Smith household. Wish me luck.
