30 Day Cooking Challege

I have decided to start a challenge to improve myself as a wife and mother-to-be. I am going to learn to cook 30 new meals this month and share my experiences with all of you! My sister Heather made a Meal chart for the month of March and I copied it with only a few minor changes. Thanks Heather! I'm so excited to get into the groove of cooking! We have also started $20 date nights which we go on every Friday night, so with Friday's as an exception I will be cooking every evening :)
