I'm on week two of my dinner challenge. So far I've had home cooked meals 9 nights in a row! (I'm including easter at my fiance's parents as home cooked because it was in fact home cooked... just not by me)
Monday was Week 2, Day 1: Hamburgers on the grill with pepperjack cheese, sesame seed buns and onion rings on the side
Tuesday (today): W2, D2: Baked salmon with Emeril's fish rub and lemon with a loaded baked potato.
Note: Baked potatoes really should be a weekend thing. They take too long to actually bake (1hr) which I don't really have if I want to eat earlier than 7pm.
I'm really excited to see if I can make it a whole month with only 4 non-home cooked dinners or less! I've definitely noticed I'm motivated by the challenge! There has already been 1-2 nights when I almost defaulted to pizza. Pretty sad that in 1 week, 2 days I've almost caved and ordered pizza twice. This is why I need this challenge!

Try making pizza "from scratch" sometime. It takes about 5-10 minutes to assemble it and it's way better than frozen and your standard take out. :) Plus you can make it to your standards!! I say "from scratch" because no way do I condone making a crust (even from a box!) or pizza sauce though. :)
ReplyDeleteWe actually do make our own pizza pretty frequently... homemade dough (it makes 3-4 dough balls that we store in the freezer) and even homemade pizza sauce quite often!
