WHAT WE HAD FOR DINNER

Home-cooked meals. It’s something to aspire to, something what we know is good for our health and wallets, but it’s also one of those things that can be difficult to keep up, especially when both grown-ups are working and the baby is getting so much more fun to play with after a long day of work. In an effort to share my journey through this process, and as a way to keep a diary for myself to see what meals work and don’t, I am going to try to post what we had for dinner each Monday-Friday. I’m going to focus on the weekdays because we usually try to eat in as much as possible during the weekday and because that’s when time crunch is at its worst. I am going to try to link to the recipes that I used, as much as possible, and include a photo if I was able to take one. It's going to be real life, because sometimes we eat in all week, sometimes we don't. I think the important thing is to keep things simple, plan ahead, and appreciate when your husband offers to pick up Chipotle on his way home.
