hello i'm new to this group. fresh out of divorce { well if you can
call
that fresh } any way i have a 7 year old girl hanna and a 6 year old
boy
josh . trying to make sure we as mom and dad keep our kids lives as
normal
as possible we have joint phys custody and i'm confident in my
parenting
abilities the reason for my first post is i need some new idea's for
cooking let's face it mom cooked and left me with hamburger's and such
.
now i need to step up in this area any ideas will be apperciated
Ok more seriously... Learn to cheat... I do... I make 2 huge dinners
over
the weekend... Like monster roasts or make double batches of things
like
spaghetti sauce or whatever I want to make and I put it in the freezer
for
the week...

Left overs......you must be kidding..................

Nope no kidding... Sauces do really well in the freezer... Seems to take as
long to make the pasta as it does to defrost and heat the sauce LOL




I also search online during the week for different recipes that I like
to
make that weekend... Print them off, buy the ingredients and cook on my
days
off... If the recipe flops then we put it in the "icky" pile and burn
it in
the fireplace LOL...

My trick was to always have either lots of fresh fruit and veggies in
the
fridge so that if you are late coming home from work or soccer or
whatever
you can grab an apple while tossing some of the freezer goodies in the
oven
or microwave...

http://www.recipeland.com/ is a pretty decent site to visit and explore
most
of the recipes are pretty tasty
