SOL 7/31 - What Do You Want For Dinner?

That's the question I get asked every day.  Hubby is my cook, but he relies on me to decide what I want him to cook.  All I have to do is make that decision.

When the kids were young and I was doing the cooking, I would always ask the same question.  His response was usually, "Whatever you want."

So, should we have fish, chicken, pork, spaghetti, stir fry, or maybe we'll have breakfast for dinner.

My question back to him is "what do we have in the freezer?"

Or I say "whatever you want to make".

Hubby makes his creation no matter what I say I'd like.  Sometimes I'd just like to be surprised.

So What Are You Having For Dinner?  I need some new ideas.

    Your post reminded me that I need to plan meals this weekend! I started planning by the month when we were first married, because I needed some variety and planning helped fix that. Now I plan two months at a time, 13 meals a month, no specific order. I love pulling out my cookbooks for inspiration! Oh--and we're eating out tonight!

    Oh, I do no meal planning! When I am at the grocery store, I am always thinking about the meals I'll make that week, and that's the extent of it. I quit asking my husband what he'd like years ago because the "Whatever you want to make." reply was making mad. :)

    Hardest question of the day ... I like how you posed the question to get some responses here! Does Lean Cuisine count for a dinner option? I didn't think so. We are having Tilapia and rice! No special cooking here, but you already knew that ....

    I hope you get some good ideas and recipes ... you could always head over to pinterest. I have a "Food: Dinner Tonight" board full of yummy looking dinners (that I will have to try one day ...)

    Love ya, Mom!

    I had to laugh when I read this. Kathy and I are the same way. I enjoy cooking as long as Kathy tells me what she would like.

    I always ask, but I always cook too. My husband's response is usually cornbread and goulash. I think he says it just get my goat but at least it is a suggestion.

    In our house, my husband is the best cook, but hates planning for the meals. No surprises except his consistently giving spirit. Our favorites are when he uses the grill, so went out and bought an indoor one.

    We had dinner for breakfast this morning. Our favorite go-to dinners are Mexican: fajitas or burritos.

    What a fun post! I ask my daughter and husband that question all the time and usually they are not much help. One of my new favorites is stuffed bell peppers with fire roasted tomatoes, brown rice, ground turkey, and black beans. Yum!

    I hate having to come up with the meal ideas and then cooking them. It's not that I dislike cooking, but I get tired of it. Lately when I need inspiration, I turn to Pinterest. I will type in a search and presto there are hundreds of options and pictures. Then I have to hunt the source down for the recipe, but at least we are trying some new foods. There are so many food blogs out there too (that's where most of the pins are from). Good luck. Tonight we are having an Asian beef and green bean stir fry.

    We've been eating a lot of comfort food this winter. I've lost count of how many batches of chili I've made, along with soups, stew and macaroni and cheese, which is what we had tonight.

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014

Tuesday SOL - 9/25/12 - A New Beginning for a Special Couple

Image
Several weeks ago we were invited to a wedding for two very dear friends.  What a special occasion it was!  This is the second marriage for both of them and they are in their early 70's.  But, before telling you about the wedding, you need to know "the rest of the story". Jeannie's husband died about 10 years ago from heart related problems.  Several years after his death, she was involved in a terrible automobile accident and was never expected to walk again.  But through sheer determination (and the help of God) she walks without the aid of crutches.  At this point she really didn't have God in her life and I'm not sure at what point she found God (or more than likely, God found her).  She always asked God to find her that special man who had faith, was kind, had a great sense of humor and who loved her. Along came Richard.  His wife died about 5 years ago, also to heart related problems.  They "knew" each other through church, Bible ...
