Cooking is getting easier

My husband keeps saying that I just need to practice to get better at cooking. Before this challenge, I didn't really bother but maybe once a week. This is why our biggest hurdle was going out or ordering in our meals.

I have now successfully made dinner two nights in a row! It's amazing what kind of confidence that gives me to continue trying new recipes.

I've found that if I start on dinner as soon as I walk in the door from work, I don't lose the momentum of the day. Sitting down in front of the computer when I get home starts a lazy-cycle that causes us to order in so much.

Granted, I haven't started my 3-times-a-week-workout-in-place-of-shopping like I had intended, but I'm not sitting in front of the computer or tv for nearly as long in the evenings anymore... surely cooking is a form of exercise. Well, at least I feel like the meals are better for us.
