Eat @HOME August Finale & September-Menu Planning

Well, it's official...we DID IT!  We ate at home for the entire month of August! (With the exception of Eli's Birthday Happy Meal!)  Anybody else out there try it?  I think the team's favorite new meal was the Baked Tacos followed closely by Chicken Rollatini.

It was a lot of cooking, but it was SO worth it.  So much in fact that we are doing it AGAIN!  Ahhh!  We are crazy! :)  We won't be AS strict this time.  We will allow ourselves a couple of times to go and grab something if we are in a pinch.  

Honestly it wasn't too bad!  True I did complain a few times, but those were times that I hadn't planned very well.  So that was my fault. :)

So here is my Eat @HOME September Menu!!  There are a few meals still left from August that I didn't get to.  You'll also see some repeats from August because they were so yummy.  I also added a couple of brand new ones to try out! (Those are noted by the *.)  I've also added a Snacks/breakfasts/Freezer category.  These are things I like to keep on hand at various times for the boys to either add to their school lunches or to take for snack.
