New Budget Challenge

So here is the deal. Nobody is swimming in money these days and we are no different. Sure we have some room, but not that much. I believe in active children and even with just two kids, those sport's classes and gear started to get really expensive. In order to be able to afford the extras we decided to cut back on restaurant bills. We will allow ourselves to eat out once or twice a week.

So far so good. We are ending the weekend and nobody had to go out to eat yet.

It's a learning process. I need to plan meals ahead so I have the ingredients ready. Also try to prepare some dishes ahead of time.
Here is what we had in the past few days that might inspire others to cook something different:

Wednesday's Dinner -
Brazilian Chicken Strogonoff with Rice
Thursday's Dinner - Chicken Tenders and Egg Rolls
Friday's Dinner - Beef Tacos
Saturday's Lunch - Calzones
Saturday's Dinner - Chicken Taquitos
Sunday's Brunch - Waffles, Scrambled Eggs, Maple Sausage and Tater Toots
Sunday's Dinner - Burguers and Chips
