One of These Doesn't Belong


I don’t know about you, but I believe a home should be lived in. My home is clean and decorated as nicely as our shoe string budget will allow us. And though we’re constantly on the go, we do the best we can to pick up after ourselves. But our home is not on display. It is definitely lived in!

And when we cook, our dinners don’t include three courses, nor are they gourmet. They’re just quick, thrifty and pretty tasty, too, so long as Chris is cooking!

If you or someone you know is able to maintain the Pottery Barn home, cook like Rachel Ray all the while living in your home, more power to ya! But that will never happen for the Freemans. It’s good enough for us just to have our meals planned out for the whole week, and it’s even better if we get the groceries in advance! It’s just one less thing we have to deal with, and it lets us actually enjoy our evenings together.

So as a means of accountability to me, and maybe encouragement to others, I’m going to start posting the meals I’ve planned out for the week. We'll call these posts "Meal Mondays". If you want the recipes, let me know! And if you do the same thing, I want to know what you're cooking for the week!
