Dinner Menu

It's not a secret that our family struggles with regular homecooked meals. We eat out a lot because we're lazy and we think of it as a fun family activity. Well, we've come up with a new plan to see if we can reduce our "eating out" expense. We made a month-long menu with a "theme" for every night of the week. Our themes include Mexican, beef, Italian, poor people food, casserole, breakfast, soup, chicken, pork, and Idaho night. Saturdays are leftovers/eat out night. We came up with simple, cheap food for each night of the week. We're going to shop once a week for the food we need that week and see how it all works out. Maybe if it's successful, we'll try to incorporate healthy eating in the future. Baby steps.
We started this today, even though the menu shows meals listed since September 3rd. We created a complete month's worth of meals so we can just use the same menu for October.
