For Natalie

As I said before, one of my goals is to actually cook dinner on a regular basis. Part of this goal is to try new recipes, preferably healthier recipes, so that we don't get stuck in a rut. I have a bad tendency to find something I like and then eat it over and over again until I'm so sick of it I never want it again. Also, I am so sick of eating sandwiches for lunch, so I figure having leftovers isn't that bad. The topmost reason is to save money. If I plan the meals, we spend less on groceries and eating out for dinners and lunches.

That being said, I have done really well this month. Not perfect. Sometimes the meals get switched nights, or we go out because something came up with friends, etc. But I think overall we've done good. Our grocery bill has gotten smaller each week and hopefully will continue to do so. I'd love to get our grocery budget for the month down to $100, or less. :)

Because I have a hard time finding new/different recipes/ideas of what to have for dinner, and because my sister has so graciously asked for it, I have decided to post my menu each week on here. I'll also update it after each new meal we try to give you our opinion of it if was good or not. If you would like a recipe just leave me a comment & I'll send it your way. If it's outstanding I might post it as a separate post with the recipe anyways. Or maybe I'll make it a weekly thing where I post a new recipe we like or an old recipe we love. :) Anyway, you get the idea.

Love ya Nat!
