So I've never really been one to make New Years resolutions. I'm not sure why but I just never have. This year though, I have made a goal that I hope I will work on throughout the whole year (and not just through the month of January). I thought it would be a good idea to write about it on my blog so that hopefully I would continue to have motivation with it.
This year, my goal is to make dinner every night. This may not seem like that big of a goal but for me it will be. We normally eat some sort of "dinner" each night after Cameron and I both get home from work but it usually isn't very healthy, filling or yummy.
I created a Google Calendar where I will plan meals for a month at a time. This way, we already have the meals planned for each night and there won't be any "What are we having for dinner" questions. Plus, Cameron and I can both look at it and make changes to it if we need to. I actually started this last week and I am loving it! I just hope I feel as excited about it in August as I do today!
So if any of you have any yummy, easy meal ideas shoot them my way (aswenson5@gmail.com)! I would love to try new recipes.

This is such a good resolution. I feel like this is my goal every week but I never end up making dinners every night. It really does help to have the meals planned for every night though. I always plan a meal for 6 days and then plan on eating out 1 night. And then if something comes up like my mom invites us over for dinner or our friends want to go out to eat, then we save the planned meal for the next week.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I didn't say that in my post but I have planned 1 night a week that we can eat out. I have tried to plan a menu in the past but when I do it a week at a time, I stop after a week or so. I'm hoping that by planning a month at a time, it will make my life easier! We'll see how it goes :)
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA!!! I hear you! I haven't cooked for over 2, maybe 3 months! Chris started back on days and I have cooked the last 2 nights...it has been soooo nice!!
ReplyDeleteThis is my New Years resolution too! I really have to be prepared or I'm not going to cook. I'm not one to just through something together. My sister-in-law emailed me a delicious white chili recipe. Super easy and the leftovers are even better. I'll try to forward it to you.
