My idea of cooking usually starts with take-out menu. It’s not that I don’t like cooking, it’s that by the time I leave work and get home I’m already hungry and once my daughter gets home I have about three minutes before she starts complaining. So its the time factor oh and the fact that I’m just not good at it.
Don’t get me wrong I can cook an awesome plate of spaghetti and hmm, did I mention I cook some spaghetti really swell.
So I’m not all that good at cooking so this coming year, meaning 2009, I need to learn. We are canceling our food service. YES WE HAD A FOOD SERVICE, what! No I’m not rich, if I was why would I be canceling?
We only started the food service because we would go grocery shopping with recipes in hand, buy the food, get home after work and see the food in the fridge and then order something out because we were too hungry or tired to cook. We would have great meal while our groceries sat alone in fridge to spoil.
Oh and CAKE, I can make good, yummy and moist cakes!
So we have decided 2009 will be our cooking year, by “our” I really mean “mine” because the hubs will of course find an excuse as to why he can’t cook. Probably go on about how he burned his fingers as a child wanting to make pancakes.
I thought to myself we are going to either lose a ton of weight during this experiment and probably have a lot of laughs as well. So I thought I would share my adventures so you can get a good laugh too! Aren’t I nice.
If you have some great quick “busy mom” recipes I would love to hear about them. Email your recipes or leave them in the comments and I’ll try and make them plus give you a shout out too!
Do you have a Crock Pot? If not, I recommend that you purchase one ASAP. Not only are they super easy to use, your husband can use it with no worries.
I have a TON of Crock Pot recipes for you to try.
Good luck!

Great post, Stephanie!
Check out these recipes with an added “twist.”
They’re mostly old staples/favorites that are tailored for braces-wearing family members (but good for those without as well). If you have any feedback after trying these recipes or want to submit some of your own to us, please feel free to do so!
I’m spreading awareness on braces treatment on behalf of the California Association of Orthodontists (CAO). They’re a great resource for people to learn more about how their kids can get and maintain healthy smiles. Orthodontists attend an additional 2 to 3 years of specialized education after dental school. If you need help finding one, try the Finding an Orthodontist Locator service.
Feel free to email me with any questions!
