e-mealz

As you all know, for our 21 Days of Prayer we are committed to eating in for every meal, for the rest of the month. To some, that might not sound like a huge deal.
It is for us.
Going to dinner or lunch after church is one of our most favorite things to do!
It's not that I don't like to cook, I do...sometimes.

It's that it takes so much time to make something really good, when you can go out to dinner and it tastes a million times better.

That sounded lazy, didn't it?

Don't get me wrong, I do get in those moods where I want to cook up something new and yummy; and I do cook at least 4 out of 5 nights of the week on a regular basis.

It's the weekends that are a challenge.

Last night was our first Friday night to stay in and cook. Can you believe that?
We have gone to family/friend dinners on weekends where we've cooked in, but never at home by ourselves.

I've been trying e-mealz.

It was easy.
I signed up, chose where I shopped and got a list for 5 meals this week.
(It's $15 for 3 months of recipes, they send you a new list every week.
Use the code DAVE [you know..Dave Ramsey, he's big on e-mealz] and get $2.50 off).
It gave me a shopping list and totaled up the amount my grocery list would cost. I was impressed!
The great thing about it, is I can save all the recipes and grocery lists for months to come!
And plus, you can choose meals for 2 people so you don't have to be wasteful!!

So what did we have on our first Friday night ever, to eat in?

Greek Chicken, Seasoned Noodles, Ceasar Salad and Rolls


Here's what the typical e-mealz recipe looks like!
(I took pictures so you could see the progress)

that Greek seasoning was YUMMY!

Seasoned Noodles Ingredients:

1/3 pkg egg noodles

4 oz cream cheese

Now Jordan and I are very picky eaters.

I'm big on the look and texture of food.

I'll have to say that I wasn't very excited to try it, by the look of it.

It was actually VERY good.

Jordan was obsessed with the noodles!

What a wonderful dinner!

I encourage you to try it!
