2 weeks down and we aren't missing anything

I asked the boys if they have missed anything about not eating out and once again Sajan said "the toys." Camden said that our food is better than the restaurants and he has enjoyed helping cook the meals.

We headed to a town about 20 minutes away to look at the wild life, the elk in particular, and took a picnic lunch with us and our water bottles filled with tea. It was fun having a family picnic. We sat around and talked about hiking and the elk and relaxed while we ate. It was much nicer than when we stop for fast food and we all seem to shove it down our throats as fast as we can instead of enjoying the food.

I am really liking eating at home. We have saved on gas from not running after food and I have found that it takes as much time or less time to cook a meal than to get in the car, wait in a line, and get the order while spending WAY too much on the mediocure food.

We checked out cookbooks from the library this week and are having fun figuring out what meals to plan to make from them.
