We try really hard to plan to eat at home. It's one of my ongoing resolutions. J and I both like to eat (surprise, surprise), and we're not afraid to eat out. But right now, frankly, it's a bit of a strain on the pocketbook. I aim to cook and eat at home 5 nights per week. Some weeks are more successful than others. I would say 7 nights per week, but that doesn't happen.
J's mom didn't cook on weekends. My mom cooked every night. While I like the concept of not cooking weekends, this is when there's more time for me to explore and experiment...as well as mire myself in experiments that I don't have time for normally. So, J and I sit down every weekend, and talk about what we'd like to eat, what nights I won't be home or will be home late and so on. It works for us.
Here's what this week looks like: I have guitar Wednesday, and won't be home until 7. I'm out for a work dinner on Thursday. So, we need S, M, T, W, and F. Wednesday being leftovers. Saturday's negotiable.
Sunday: Tortellini Soup, rolls, butter and cheese (leftovers for lunch this week)
Monday: Steak Stirfry over rice (leftovers for lunch this week)
Tuesday: Baked Ham, Scalloped Potatoes and whatever vegetable is on sale this week
Wednesday: Leftovers from Tuesday
Thursday: J orders pizza. I get banquet food
Friday: Spaghetti and garlic bread...and wine!!!
Saturday: ??
That sounds good. Pictures and recipes to follow :)
