So I consider myself very lucky that for the past couple of months (or forever) I’ve been very spoilt with home cooked meals and planned menus. I now find myself in the dilemma of being the one having to plan the menu’s and cook the meals. Now I have to say that I do consider myself a good cook when it comes to complex gourmet type dishes and dinner parties, but the whole cooking for two thing – everyday - does not come easily for me. I am uninspired to think of something different to cook every day and I am also terrible at planning ahead. I therefore suck at doing the whole monthly shopping thing and therefore always find that I never have what I need in order to cook what I want.
The Other Half realizes this about me and so sweetly offered to go to the grocery store on his way home from work and do a big shop. So I now find myself with heaps of frozen chicken, frozen fish and a few other things in bulk – like chips and salsa…
So I thought I might as well make the most of it and I tried to do a fish dish the other night. Now for those that know me, you may recall that I don’t do very well with stinky food stuffs, let alone cooking stinky fish. And I have to say that this frozen fish was pretty stinky. But I pushed along and I have to say that it all actually looked pretty good. I couldn’t actually eat it but hey – at least it looked good. The Other Half ate it and said he liked it – but bless his heart, he probably just didn’t want to hurt my feelings – at least he didn’t die of food poisoning!
So the point of this blog is to enlist some help from my darling readers.
Please post or send me one or two of your favorite recipes. Now please people, keep them simple. I’m looking for things that I can make as everyday dinner kind of things. But also, feel free to throw in something exotic or exciting – we love trying new things.
Looking forward to trying everything out – and I promise to let you know how it goes!

Try visiting "thepioneerwoman dot com/cooking" her recipes are awesome step by step, and I have yet to cooking something of hers that Keith doesn't *love*. She has a great cook book out as well that is full of 'man-pleasin' stuff! Enjoy!
Ah Thanks Van! I completely forgot about her!
