My husband and I have really made a commitment to eating at home, and I have to say, we are a lot happier for it.  We both love to cook, but have busy lives and can be a little lazy.  :).  Once we started planning ahead, cooking at home has made a real difference.  We actually enjoy food again, and guess what?  I have lost 3 lbs!  Seriously, if you're not planning your meals and eating at home, you've got to try it.

We enjoy eating at home now more than ever. As I continue to learn how to cook and use the great recipes from this site makes it better. At least at home, you know and control what goes into your food.

My boyfriend and I have cut down on going out as well - we both like to cook and are both trying to save money, so it works out well. The more recipes I save to my recipe box, the more evenings I want to stay in and try making something new! Also, since there's just two of us, we end up with a lot of leftovers that make good lunches - so I save on buying those terrible frozen lunches or eating those super salty cup o' noodles (I'm not a fan of sandwiches...) Good for you, hope it continues to go well!!

We've cut back due to loss of job. I love this site because I've found some on our favorite recipes from when we used to eat out and I can almost make the same thing for a lot less. It's alot more work on my part because I'm the only one who cooks but it sure has saved us money. I also do the leftovers for lunch thing as I hate most frozen foods and sandwiches get boring. Good luck, keep us informed if you find any favorite recipes.
