I have a relationship with food. Unfortunalty it is an obsessive relationship and I hate to admit but it is one sided. I know its hard to believe but I am the one that loves food and I will admit I am a little obsessed sometimes. I have no self control and I am not one that can eat whatever I want, whenever I want and maintain a certain weight. Actually its quite opposite, Since having two kids I find I cant even eat what I dont want when I dont want to and maintain a certain weight! I have to find a balance (still finding it) of what kinds of foods and when to eat them to help with metabolism.
You are probably asking.... What does this have to do with Whats for Dinner? Well I am beginning to feel it has a lot to do with it. You see, I have always been a family person and we have a lot of family around. I am also not one to sit at home and hang out. So... I spend a fair (well maybe too much) amount of time with family at their house and not at mine. This causes a problem in the laundry and cooking departments. My house is always a mess and my car...well, I dont know if there is a proper description for it. After a number of embarassing times of taking young women home in a disgusting car, or having last minute guests stay at the house and use a bathroom I honestly forgot we had, I have decided to pay a lot more attention to detail and do a better job of keeping things clean. And take that opportunity to teach my kids to do so as well.
ANYWAY.... A big part of that attention to detail is to cook dinner more often. Back to the question Whats for dinner? Well up until now the answer to that has been Whatever mom and dad are having. Well I am married, have two kids and that is answer is about to change! But...I need your help (if anyone is out there). I am going to try to cook more often, a lot more often! I need good ideas for meals and I am going to try them, blog about them and share them.
My intention is not to turn this into a cooking blog but to help me cook by getting ideas from you and letting you know how it turned out when a beginner cook tries recipes. Hey, maybe I'll even get good enough to change recipes, Ahhh....um... I have a long way to go until then. So lets get started. Any good recipes?...

You are so cute...we must be related:) I can relate to everything you said. I can give you some recipes, in fact I will type them up and send them your way or bring them to the girls retreat. Happy blogging:) maybe I will start again.
I usually just look up on a blog what I feel like eating and make that! Blogs are the best! We'll have to get together soon we miss you guys!
I have recipes. We should all share some recipes at the women's overnighter coming up. We grill A LOT in the warmer months. I use the crock pot quite often in the winter, or the rotisserie grill. Anyway, I am a big fan of fresh fruits and veggies, too. We try to incorporate those into every dinner.
