Can we start a NO EATTING out challage?

[lovebug]

its a huge goal of mine to not eat out for the rest of this mth ( you can have your own goal, if you want ). does anyone want to join?

DH and i eat out WAY to much!!! so i want to do dinner at home from now on. this is a BIG goal for me because we dont do dinner at home A LOT! i need to learn how to cook better, get more idea of fast things to cook and its also a great way to grow as a family!

i am working on a list of yummy foods to make! i am going to the store tonight!


i was thinking we could all share what we made for dinner each night.

its a great way to save money, eat foods that are good for us AND grow our menus!!!

what do you say? do i have any takers?

I would love to! But I actually have a random lunch date tomorrow that popped up But I promise that after tomorrow's lunch, I'll stop!

I eat out too often too. I want to try to not eat out at all until my husband comes home from the desert.


Tonight for dinner I had leftover spaghetti carbonara that I made last night, and a bowl of mixed lettuces with a drizzle of olive oil.
The spaghetti dish is rather easy, I made about a quarter of a box of spag, while that was cooking I cooked up 4 slices of turkey bacon (I have a thing with pork), cooked up some a half an onion and a clove of garlic in the leftover grease from the bacon (had to actually add a small amount of olive oil to that), beat two eggs in a bowl with about a half a cup of percoino-romano (freshly grated), after the pasta was done cooking I drained it and returned it to the pot, added the onion and garlic and chopped up bacon first, then the egg/cheese mixture and tossed it all about. Oh and I added some ground pepper too.

I've also made it where I cook up some wine in the onion/garlic, but I didn't have any cheap white wine around last night.
