What's for Dinner?

Here is the first post in response to your writing topic ideas. This one is from one of my favorite girls, Christina. Thanks for the idea!

You should write about cooking...maybe your favorite things to make or how you decide what meals to fix....or how you deal with a husband who doesn't eat vegetables!

I'll just start with the meals we had last week for dinner.
Monday: Baked Cheese Ravioli and Breadsticks- The ravioli is frozen, throw it in a dish with meat sauce and mozzarella cheese. Bake for about an hour. Breadsticks were also frozen but really good. It's a pretty easy meal. I didn't bother with a salad this time.
Tuesday: Chick-Fil-A -This is just something fun we do with friends sometimes when the kids can eat for free.
Wednesday: Baked Swai, rice pilaf, steamed veggies- I cannot make rice pilaf. It had no flavor. The fish was good but the boys didn't eat it. They had leftover macaroni and cheese.
Thursday: Orange Chicken with steamed rice- Pretty easy. I found a bottle of Panda Express' orange chicken sauce. The boys like eating with chopsticks so they actually ate pretty well.
Friday: Buffalo Wild Wings to celebrate a friend's birthday
Saturday: Rochelle's Chilli with cornbread muffins- Yes, I have a friend that makes great chilli. She won't give me the recipe so she makes it for us any time we have the need for chilli. Crazy, I know.

Other things we love:
enchiladas, tacos or quesadillas with rice, beans, salsa and guacamole (the boys often just eat chips and salsa)
spaghetti
pizza or calzones
breakfast for dinner, often biscuits and gravy, breakfast casserole or waffles
grilled chicken and fried potatoes
mac & cheese, the homemade version

There's the basics. Hopefully I will write more posts about what I cook! Remind me if I forget!

Writer's Block

I haven't written many posts recently. Or read other blogs. Maybe I'm busy? Or lazy? Or interested in other things? I feel I need some inspiration. What would you like to read about? Here's a challenge. Leave a comment of something you would like me to write about and I'll give it a try. My most frequented topic is my boys but I'm willing to branch out and talk about something else. Religion, politics, technology, cooking, shopping, cleaning, landscaping, astrology... Whatever you want. It just needs to be a little specific. I'm not a writer after all. Just ask my college roommate. She had to help me with every paper I had in my English class.
Leave a comment with a subject I should write about. This might be a really bad idea. Who knows!
Ready.....go.


(I reserve the right to not write about any topic I deem silly.)
