While talking to my Husband the other day I had to come up with dinner. In a few minutes I decided on meatless spaghetti. He told me he would have figured there was nothing to cook at the last minute.
This got me thinking. As a Navy wife I am often home alone with our three young children. Because they are young they do not always enjoy food that I like. And making a big meal often turns into making enough to feed us for longer then we want to eat it. I had to learn how to use what I have creatively and resourcefully. Three children also means I do not want to be at the store more then need be.
From this have come my quick go to recipes like:
Chicken Nugget Parm
Pilaf and Veggie Toss
Hot Dog Bar
Baked Potato Bar
Mexi Pizzas (great left over dish)
I am going to work on posting the recipes to these over this weekend. I hope the next time you are low on energy and need to make dinner these will inspire you to look no further then your own kitchen.

I remember when you invented Chicken Nugget Parm. So impressive! :) I love the ideas and can relate to the cooking dilemma.
Thanks MarthaStuart. I am going to go out on a limb and try to post some of those things that I do not usually think much about.
