31 Days of Simply Homemade Recipes and Meal Plans {Day 1}

The Nester is hosting a party called 31 Days of Change. The challenge is to write 31 days of posts on ONE topic.

Holy cow.

This certainly seems like quite a daunting task, but when you think about it, when you are passionate about something, how hard can it be to write about it?

So, for those of you who followed me at Betty Crocker Wannabe, you know that I love to cook. I have been HORRIBLE at this lately. What's that? "I don't feel like cooking, but we have corndogs in the freezer." Or, "Hmm, spaghetti again!" Or. "It's late, better just drive through McDonald's!"

I have spent way too much money on eating out lately, and I need to make a change. I need to start being more intentional about what I'm feeding my kids, get back to creating simple recipes and making more healthy meals and snacks. I also need to start taking better advantage of my crockpot.

So, for 31 days I am going to plan meals, and actually follow through with them. I'll be pulling out a few of my favorites, as well as sharing new recipes. As you can see by the title of this blog, I'm all about simplicity, so my recipes will be too!

Here are my goals for the next 31 days:

• Feature the meal plan for the week every Sunday.
• Share at least one snack/baked good every week.
• No more than once a week eating out.

Now, I'm great at making goals and coming up with ideas...just not always so great at the follow through. That's where YOU come in! This blog is a great way to keep me on track and to help keep me focused and accountable, and your comments and suggestions are what fuels me! Be sure to visit each day and see what we're cooking up!

Now I'm off in search of inspiration. What's your favorite recipe? I may just have to try it...
