What's For Dinner??
Now that I have started thinking about NOT eating [b]OUT[/b] for thirty days (in reference to [url=http://www.tblog.com/templates/index.php?bid=islandartist&static=213844]yesterday's blog[/url] .) I have once again come to the realization (no, this isn't the first time) that I CAN NOT COOK! The main menu of items i prepare on a daily basis consist of the following: Stew (any meat variety), Pasta and sauce, pasta and meatballs, rice and meatballs, stirfry (any meat kind), Roasted chicken breasts with anything, sandwiches (hate sandwiches) and last but not least i make a MEAN and TASTEY roast beef. This all sounds great but after a week... it can get boring as heck. I am the type of person that would eat the exact same thing every day of the week. But my hubby can't handle that kind of monotony. When the menu gets boring, Mr. Island likes to eat "Cheese Thing" which consists of whatever I made- covered in a thick bubbling layer of cheddar. Or, if we are out of cheese he makes himself a big plate of "Cheese Fantasy" which is a big plate of whatever I made and he [b]imagines[/b] it is covered in a thick bubbling layer of cheddar. He eats 'Cheese fantasy' alot. I am considering taking some cooking classes to try and widen my horizons in the kitchen. I used to really enjoy cooking- back in the days when it wasn't a [b]Thrice daily[/b] chore (because I lived at home and Mom did most of the cooking). Nowadays, I am just so lazy and bored with the whole 'cooking' thing it seems I'd much rather pay someone at McDonalds or A&W to cook dinner for me. ALSO, i don't have to dirty any pots, pans or plates that way. I really want to change that now, I think we would all see a difference in our lives, I know it sounds dramatic but i think the trickle down effect would be greatly rewarding in the end. Are any of you guys Chefs in your own mind??? Whats your best recipe? Keep in mind I need quick and simple (ish) and preferably lower in fat (cause I got enough of that already). I'll take any recipe because with one month of eating 'IN' i'm going to be doing alot of cooking. I will need all the help i can muster. I have an idea- if you guys message me or email me your bestest- fave recipes, I'll do up a tblog cookbook with them included in PDF format so everyone can print their own off!! Wouldn't that be cool?????? I look forward to seeing what ya'll come up with! Well I should hit the sack... tomorrow morning comes early around this house. Hugs and breakfast links, ~jen
