Why are we here?

Hello Everyone!

How many of you struggle with menu planning? Five o'clock finds you staring into the refridgerator wondering what in the WORLD to cook for dinner? The kids come in from school screaming, "what's for dinner, Mom?" The husband comes in saying, "I'm hungry, honey, what's cooking?"

If you don't have anything planned ahead of time, you may find yourself reaching for the take-out drawer, or a quick and easy meal from the freezer. Now, there isn't anything wrong with any of these choices, from time to time, but if you find yourself doing this every night, it becomes not only expensive but boring too! Not to mention, probably unhealthy.

Now, I know that for many of you, meal planning and cooking dinner can be terrifying. My hopes with this blog are to enable you all to be able to creatively cook for your family and friends. It doesn't always have to be fancy, and certainly, it won't be. We all lead busy lives and I certainly do not always have time to prepare gourmet meals. I plan to post every day, but if not, I hope you won't hold it against me. :)

Welcome to my world, and I look forward to the journey with you!
