Goals: Beginning is the Hardest Part

If you read my post on setting S.M.A.R.T. goals, you know that my first big goal is reducing my family's food budget.

With two teenagers, one with dietary restrictions, we eat primarily organic and unprocessed foods. This means lots of cooking from scratch. Some days I feel like my biggest challenge is keeping everyone fed. We finish with one meal and it's on to the next. Not only do I feel like we spend too much money on food, but it seems like I spend way too much time just feeding everyone.

I needed to start with one aspect of this huge project, so I decided to start at the very beginning--breakfast.

My first order of business in accomplishing this goal is to come up with several low cost, easy to prepare (or prepare ahead) breakfast items. From there, I'll move on to the rest of the day. This small part of the larger goal seems doable, not overwhelming.

Stay tuned for some of my favorite frugal breakfast ideas. What are yours?
