Meal-times = Pathetic

Meal-times in our house are usually fast - as in fast food or take-out. I would say that we eat out (on average) 3 or 4 times a week. Oh I'm ashamed to admit that. I want to be better about meals, I truly do. I like to use working full-time as my excuse and my 35 minute long commute factors into it too - I also like to pretend that I can't cook because I need to work out or get ahead on stuff for grad-school.

Honestly though, I just need to stop making excuses and start cooking more. I'm a fan of Dave Ramsey so I signed up for the program he supports E-mealz. I signed up probably a month ago and printed out the plan (recipes and shopping list) but then never went to the grocery store.

This weekend we printed out our weekly plan and ate our first E-meal on Saturday. It was Chicken Salad with grapes and pecans. I left out the pecans (I'm not a fan of nuts), needless to say my Hubby was not excited about the grapes.

I wouldn't call Meal #1 a total strikeout but we probably won't be eating it again. Tonight we're trying Skillet Hamburgers (sounds like sloppy joes to me) and it sounds like it will be good except the suggested sides are uncooked broccoli and celery sticks (I'll never get Hubby to go for that).

So the moral of this story is that I need to be more organized and hopefully E-mealz will help with that. We'll see...
