[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 42708, member: 1697"] When I first began to be well enough to cook again, I had NO idea WHAT to make, LOL. DInnertime would come and I would still be trying to figure it out, LOL. I got a bunch of take out menus, and looked thru cookbooks, not for the recipes, but for ideas. Then I made a week at a time menu and that helped me stick to a decision and helped guide me. Knowing what was "on the menu" helped me get past my slump, and the take out menus gave me ideas for what to put on the menu. We have spaghetti on Tuesdays simply becuz the whole family WILL eat it (it is maybe the only thing they will ALL eat) and 25-30 years ago some pasta company had a commercial where Tuesday was Prince Spaghetti day, LOL- sounded good to me. Fridays I do fish, - we are not catholic and we do not give up meat ever for anything, not even Lent, but- LOL- again, it just seemed to take some of the chore of decision out of my hands, so fish on Fri it is! LOL. SOmetimes it is scrod or trout, sometimes salmon or salmon patties, or tuna salad or tuna casserole..but hey, just knowing it is confined to "fish" helps. We also are a family who adores breakfast food for dinner- waffles, pancakes, omlets, poached eggs.......Oatmeal. In the summer I like lots of fresh veg fresh fruit meals. Does not matter if it sounds like it "goes together" or "constituttes a meal" we make do. LOL. I might make a giant greek salad (lettuces, onion,s green peppers, cucmbers, feta cheese) and watermelon, cantaloupe, cherries, grapes, pineapple for "desert" Chicken salad, egg salad, tuna salad are all good with lots of fresh fruit. There is also a salad you can make with ramen......... Last week I made taco meat, fajitas meat, and set out tortillas, taco shells, nacho chips, and we had shredded lettuce, diced onions, shredded cheeses ( a few kinds) chopped olives, tomatos etc- and it was decide what YOU want. I used a plastic shoebox and put everything in ziplocks in fridge for assemble your own leftovers. (after we were done) grilled chicken and a salad made of spinach, feta and red onions and then slice strawberries on top and use rasberry dressing is yummy and easy. [/QUOTE]
