As a mom I get the "what's for dinner?" question alot. It's usually when diner is already half made and it's time to set the table. However I recently posted a comment on my facebook page as to what I would be cooking that particular night and I got the "recipe please" comment from a friend.
As a wife or mother the job of creating a menu usually falls to us. With good reason I'm sure. Probably because one too many dads or husbands have burned the popcorn in the microwave because they didnt know there was a button for that or because we might end up eating cereal every night for dinner. Many of us end up cooking the same thing week after week because its quick and easy and that's is just what we're used to.
I subscribe to a whole host of food magazines - Food Network, Rachel Ray and Cooking Light to name a few. There are so many great recipes in there that I finally decided to start trying something new at least two or three nights a week. Of course that depends on extra cirricular activites and PTA meeting or dance lessons or Pep Squad practices there are! Now I am not a picky eater - I will pretty much try anything that isnt moving around on my plate. But my kids - each one of them dislikes something the other likes. It can be hard to come up with something they will all eat. Surprisingly the youngest is the least pickiest!!
Each time I make something new I will be posting the recipe and what I thought of it and what I could have changed if anything to make it better. I hope this gives you busy moms out there a new idea of something to cook for dinner when you are sick of the usual!
