Do you think you can eat in for an entire week?
Even for me, a person who eats most of her meals in, a full week of home-cooked food is a long time. I run out of dinner ideas, or I’m tired of doing dishes, or I just want to eat at a restaurant because I like it. So by Thursday or Friday, I’m going out or ordering in.
But starting February 22nd, I have signed up for The Huffington Post‘s The Week of Eating In Challenge. I love challenges like this because they add some life – a spark, if you will – to my cooking-at-home routine.
The challenge starts just a few days after the release of Cathy Erway’s book The Art of Eating In: How I Learned to Stop Spending and Love the Stove. (She ate in for two years in New York – not an easy task!)
You too can sign up for the challenge, follow Cathy’s blog, add a picture of your small kitchen to the slideshow, and use the spending tracker to see how much money eating in can save you.
I also recommend eating out this weekend – a necessary preparation for a week of eating in!
