I used to....

There was a time before I was a single mom that I did meal planning, and was a much more careful shopper. I was pretty good at it. Well, I'm taking a page from Rachel's book and starting to do that again. I've started with ivillage.com. I've gone there before for many different things. They have messages boards for just about every woman's issue/concern/interest you can think of. So now I'm going to them for recipe ideas. I'm a decent cook, but I don't enjoy cooking. I like it when I can pull something off that's a hit with everyone, but I never expect it. And I certainly am no good at coming up with new ideas. If it were left up to me we'd have spaghetti, sloppy joes, grilled chicken, and grilled pork chops with the occasional steak thrown in over and over. But I'm making a new effort! And I figure by posting it, Rachel and I and anyone else that wants to join in my new resolve can help each other out, share cool recipes we've found. Kind of like a work out buddy, but we're we aren't professional chefs but still need variety buddies. At least I hope, lol.
