So, the month of no eating out has officially started! At my house (Jaimie) we woke up a little late for our "park date." So, the first thing Faith (7) says, "We can stop at McDonald's and get breakfast." Okay, the first meal and she already wants to go out...we may be in trouble. Luckily, I planned ahead for days like this and have a stash of granola bars. Whew!
Lunch is where it gets interesting. We stopped to visit my mom at her store and we are there around 11:30am. She is well aware of the challenge before both of our families and is excited and supportive. So, she says, "Well, I found $5 in my pocket this morning. Why don't you run over to Subway and get a 'footlong' for you and the kids." I am so happy that we will get to eat lunch with her, but feeling somewhat a let down that I am not even going to make it through the first day without a meal out.
For supper, we had leftovers...
So, tomorrow is going to be the big day for our house! I want to bake some bread in the morning and Janet and her kids are coming over for dinner. We may grill or have lasagna, but everything will be DINING IN! For my lasagna recipe, go to Ragu No Boil Lasagna.
Send us your recipe ideas, maybe we can try them out and post about them!
Janet and Jaimie

Sounds like it's gonna be tough. The hardest part for me has been the quick little stops. After storytime we usually go to McDonald's for lunch. I am kind of doing this challenge for the kids too. I don't want them to be addicted to Fast Food like I am.
