You might notice that our eating out nights are bolded. I'd like to remind you that it is not because I get a night off from cooking, (although that is a perk) it is because I simply love pizza. You might also notice that there are only two nights this month that we will be eating a non-homecooked dinner. This is for several reasons:
1) It's much healthier than eating out (usually)
2) We are tight on money and it would be stupid and irresponsible for us to be eating out any more often than this.
3) I'm not lazy. It is my job to take care of my family so I feed them. Simple as that.

On a different note; for those of you looking for a way to feel productive but don't know where to start, I'm going to be organizing the kitchen pantry (among many other things) today. Please feel free to join me and clean/organize your pantry as well. I like to keep everything in mine categorized by item. It helps keep the pantry looking clean as well as makes it easier to find what I am looking for. Happy cleaning!
