I love to bake and like to cook but I despise planning dinner. I feel like I cook the same things a lot and would like a little variety. One of the problems is that my family likes things very plain and simple. Last week I attempted to get a little creative and made stuffed peppers one night and chicken kiev with ricotta cheese another night. Needless to say, I enjoyed dinner but no one else in the family did.
So, this week we have had pasta and meatballs, brats, and chicken. Now I'm stumped for tonight. No idea what to make. Other than something simple-no casseroles or sauces or too much creativity. (edited to add that its the next day now-last night I made hot dogs, mac and cheese and carrots, definitely falls in the plain and simple category but everyone ate all their dinner).
We recently signed up for something called Absolute Organics. You pay them to deliver organic, mostly local, fruits and vegetables to your door. We get a small box every other week. I enjoy this because it has caused me to try some things that I normally would not eat. This week I am contemplating what to do with the yellow wax beans and plums. My kids have never had plums but they refuse to try them-ugh. The good thing is that you can choose what food items you want delivered so if its something I know we won't eat I just cross that off the list. Also, whatever we have left I can puree for Amanda and freeze, luckily she eats everything and is not picky yet!
So back to the age old question-Whats for Dinner???
