I need to spend less.

[Flaxbee]

41. We eat out too much, too. I've spent this weekend investigating

vegetarian menus so I can make lunches and dinners at home, with eating out once or twice a week as a treat.

Martha Stewart has a nice list of recipes, though some of the ingredients are $$$ - here are 100 vegetarian recipes: http://www.marthastewart.com/362260/quick-vegetarian-main-course-recipes/@center/852566/vegetarian-recipes

Here's a vegetarian meal planner: http://www.myrecipes.com/quick-and-easy/1-list-5-meals/vegetarian-meal-plan-week-10000001911766/page2.html

I don't eat eggs unless I can verify the living and care conditions of the hens. I guess I'm mostly vegan, but I have a huge weakness for goat cheese and feta ...

Study what you need for a well-stocked pantry - spices, etc. - and you'll have more versatility with cooking. Here's another Martha list (I had no idea what a resource she was until this weekend!) of tasty "gourmet" ingredients that add a punch of flavor even in small amounts: http://www.marthastewart.com/334135/good-for-you-gourmet-ingredients

Good luck! It isn't an easy habit to break (eating out) but in the long run it's definitely healthier and more efficient / frugal to eat at home!
