A MONTH OF DINNERS // JANUARY




I saw another blogger do this for all of 2016 and thought it was pretty cool, so I decided I'd do it for the first month of 2017! Below are all the dinners I ate in January. I actually started journaling again at the end of 2016 (more on this at some point...) so I added a spot to write down my dinner every day at the top of each entry. Surprisingly (or unsurprisingly?), what I ate for dinner can evoke so many memories about a particular day for me, so it only makes sense for me to keep track of them.
