Grab your apron - it's a revolution!

So I just read a statistic from one of my favorite bloggers that said the average American eats out 5.9 times per week. 

Oh my goodness ….. that has to affect not only our health but also our wallets.  

While I enjoy a meal out every now and then, it has always been a "treat" and not part of our routine.  It's just too darn expensive!
 
I say it's time to take up our aprons and revolt --- it's time to return to the kitchen!  Cooking can be fun and convenient with a little planning ahead of time.  For our house, this happens on Sunday morning.  I sit down with my calendar, review our appointments and activities, and pencil in our dinners for the week.  I take a quick inventory of the refrigerator, freezer and pantry and add any missing ingredients to my shopping list that I keep on my phone. 

I have to tell you - this is freeing!  No more stress about "what's for dinner" at the last minute or trying to defrost something quickly.  No more calling the pizza place (again) because the day got away from you.  You have a plan!

To give you some inspiration, I've put together some quick and easy meal and dessert ideas in our "Favorite Fall Recipes"
book.  Snag your free copy here:
