Budget-friendly Cooking.

So in the interest of our budget, Mr Rh and I got on the same team about our eating habits and we have been attempting to eat out less / eat in more. I'm not great at this because I love the event of going out and often like the food too! Not always more than what we can make for ourselves at the house, but sometimes. I'm also not much of one for cold sandwiches aside from peanut butter, but recently there has been a problem with peanut butter.

I'm telling you about this, because I'm hoping it might help keep me on board and encouraged. It also makes the meals more like events! I don't want to be the reason our team fails, so I'm looking for encouragement and ideas! I am also trying to think of a cute way to keep track of menus and recipes and also to make it accessible for other bloggers who might be in a similar situation. :) 

Last night we did alright.  (And we did alright for breakfast too: we had muffins Sunday morning thanks to a mix and a willing husband! ) For dinner, I had tamales that had been frozen since Christmas-time and Mr. Rugged had some pizza left over from our date Saturday night!  We both have big days on Tuesday of this week, so it would be nice if our dinner tonight was simple and pleasant and it would be even better if it was simple and pleasant on Tuesday(I'll be at school fairly late). I think I would be up for tamales again so maybe that is the plan. I'll have to ask Mr. Rh what he would like.  One wonderful thing about my Mr. is that he is super good at taking care of himself! The man's mama taught him well, not too mention the years of he fed himself during college, so even if I don't have a great idea, he will probably be able to scavenge for himself.  

I'll let you know how things go later this week. In between now and then, I would love for you to share your simple recipes / ideas about making dinner at home more special / etc...!
