Dinner time at our house tends to be a scramble of what to make and what we need for it. I know it would be much easier if I would just make a menu for the month and stick to it but I have a hard enough time figuring out what I want for lunch on one day let alone dinner for 30 days. Now that I am back to work, Brian cooks three days a week at least and those are the days we definitely would benefit from some planning. He ends up having to do the thawing, preparation, and cooking all with Tiny Tornado insisting on either helping, being held, or having a snack. Those are the most difficult days to get a meal on the table and usually it is ready by six despite all of that.
The two days during the week I don't work I am responsible for dinner. Some times I plan ahead, pull something out in the morning and dinner is ready at the Tornado's preferred time of 5:30. Other days I am scrambling at 5 to throw something together that everyone will eat. Today was a day I am proud of. I had dinner in the crockpot before 1:00 and it will be ready by 5:30. We are having baked beans and sausage that I found on Pinterest and I am thrilled to try a new recipe. Usually I get stuck in a rut and we just have the same things over and over. Any time we find a new recipe that we end up liking it is a great thing and it gets added into the rotation. Does anyone else have amazing recipes that you use over and over? I would love to have new recipes added into our rotation. They have to be simple, easy to throw together and use things that are common in a house that is an hour from the grocery store.
