Creating a habit

Eating out is pretty much a habit for us... We eat 95% of our meals out (not including breakfast, because neither one of us really eat anything in the morning)... it is expensive and not always healthy. We are trying to develop a habit of eating dinner at home... I am sure you are probably thinking I have heard this before... yeah you probably have. We go through cycles.
Anyway, today Jack-in-the-box was giving away free a free sandwich with a purchase of a drink and IHOP was giving aways free pancakes... my oh my I wanted to give in and go out to eat!! But we didn't! We stayed home and made our own pancakes with fruit to top it off and they were delicious.

We haven't been eating big extravagant meals or anything, but we are eating at home and SAVING MONEY! We share in the preparation, cooking, dishes etc. We sit at the dinner table and turn off the TV and actually say a blessing before we eat (we normally just sit at the coffee table in front of the TV). It is nice to just sit and talk about our day.
