OK, I definitely need some extra motivation to cook. Lately it seems we've been doing way too much take out and mac and cheese. I always plan out meals for the week. I'm great at the planning...it's the execution I have trouble with. It seems like by the end of the week I have only done maybe half of the meals I bought groceries for. There are always excuses of being too tired from work or soothing my emotions with a pile of pasta or stack of pancakes. Either way it ends up with wasted groceries, expanding waistlines, and feeling like a bit of a failure. So, I'm going to use this blog, once again, as motivation to make cooking family dinners fun again. If I put it out there for others to see, maybe I will also stick to what I say I'm going to do.
What's for dinner this week?
*Fajita Quesadillas
*Chicken and Rice bowls
*Ravioli w/ zucchini
*Fish (OJ) Chicken (me and Penny) w/ Salad and Roasted Asparagus
*Roast w/ mashed potatoes & green beans
Tonight we had Fajita Quesadillas. I used strips of onion, green and red bell pepper, and baby portabella mushrooms. I sauteed them over medium high heat with a little bit of canola oil, then seasoned with some taco seasoning. Then I used my Griddler (love that thing!) to do the quesadillas. We used some whole grain tortillas so they were a little nutty tasting. It was a hit! It was easy, delicious, and a good way for everyone to get their veggies without realizing it.
1 down, 4 more to go . . .
