A Mom's Musings

• Wednesday, February 7, 2007 - Frustrated cook!

I have come to the sad conclusion that I am really lousy at cooking!  Not in the end result - what I do manage to make is always eaten (at least by my husband, if not the picky kids).  My problem is that I feel so stuck in a rut with what I make week in and week out, and I don't even know where to look for inspiration!  How sad is that for a full-time homemaker!!!  Ugh.

Thursday is grocery day for me, so as I was putting together my list a while ago, I filled in some miscellaneous items I need, and then I usually write out a menu and make a list based on that.  I have NO idea what to do next week!  I have the old stand-by Betty Crocker cookbook in the cute red checked cover, but I can't seem to find anything inspiring in there.  I'm not looking for "gourmet," just a little variety with meat and potatoes! LOL! 

Does anyone else here suffer from this or am I the loner among all you homesteading gals?!!

I have problems with this, too. I have not been inspired at all lately. On the other hand, my husband can go in the kitchen, take a look at what's in there, throw some stuff together, and it turns out so good!

• Wednesday, February 7, 2007 - Easy recipe

Posted by GoofyMamma
Ok I have a very easy tasty recipe for you. It's for chicken. Take approx. 4-5 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cook them in a little oil in a skillet until done. Cut up into bite size pieces. While the chicken is cooking grap about 1 1/2cup of your favorite salsa and 3/4 cup of sour cream. Mix the two together and pour over the chicken. Simmer for 10 minutes and pour over rice. It is sooo yummo.
It is sooo fast and easy and taste so good. I hope you give it a try.

• Thursday, February 8, 2007 - The Library

Posted by gokings13
I go to the library often to check out as many cookbooks and recipe magazines as I can!! I photo copy what looks good, and give it a try.
I have a house FULL of picky eaters, so it is a challenge not to 'repeat the rut' week after week.
