What We Ate This Month: A Month of Family Meal Ideas

This post contains an affiliate link 

It is easy to get in a cooking rut, this last summer I don't think I hardly cooked anything; but I was determined to start the New Year right, planning meals each week.  Today I am sharing What We Ate in January.   These are family friendly, often quick to make meals, as this is real life!

I have to disclose, that we do go out to eat on Friday's, also Saturday after we spend the day cleaning the kitchen, we are not about to cook in it, so Saturday's are pizza and a movie night at our house.

I have added links to recipes when there are recipes, some are just things I make without a recipe.  If there is anything you have questions about or would like a recipe for in the future, please let me know.
