The Dreaded Question: 'What's for Dinner?'

Every single day, dinner has to be made. I really do love to cook but coming up with what is for dinner can be a daunting task and some days all I have the energy for is Rocks and Rubber (aka chicken nuggets and macaroni).

But on most other nights, I do like to make something some what palate pleasing and nutritional. I love looking through food magazine and pulling out recipes that I think my family will like. I change a few things here and there to better suit our needs.

If the family likes it, it goes into a folder where I keep of all my recipes. Well, my folder is about ready to give birth. I don't think that I could stuff and another recipe in there. So this is why, I have decided to combine two of my loves, blogging and cooking.

I have started a recipe blog. It is mainly for my personal purposes to get my recipes organized but I also thought that maybe others would like to see it. Because if you are anything like me, I am always look for the next good idea to answer the question, "What's for dinner."


So with out further ado, I give you Food the Pile Loves.


Are you curious why I have this picture up and why I am so wordful about it.
Well, go check out the new blog,
Food the Pile Loves.


This is just me being Wordful yet again on a Wednesday.
Go see what others have to say.
By the way, did you know that Angie has a recipe blog.

Hey Jen - nice to meet you! Thanks for stopping by and keeping my lil' secret about the fish. :-) Yeah like it's a SECRET! Anyway - I'll check out your new blog but ONLY if the recipes are easy. I need all kinds of help in the kitchen!

Kristin said...

Hey!!! How did you get a picture of my shirt?

Unknown said...

That is the worst question to hear at the end of the day. The truth is, 9 out of 10 times, I have NO idea what's for dinner : ).

Michelle said...

Your recipe blog is the second cheerio background blog I have seen today (for the first time).

I ask this....why wouldn't you just mix all of those ingredients into a bowl instead of a plastic bag?? LOL!

And I didn't even know that they still sold velveeta cheese!

ParentingPink said...

Sarah said...

Very cool.

I'm a "collector" of recipes...although, some/much/most of the time I don't actually get around to using them. I should. Variety is the spice of life, right?

momma said...

food blog - what a great idea! i hate having to decide what to make. i usually am missing an ingredient, too!!

Hippomanic Jen said...

That is truly a wonderful idea. And then you can use the labels to select what you want. That is so clever!

Anonymous said...

That's a fun way to give a heads up!

Stacy Uncorked said...

Still chuckling over the "Rocks and Rubber" description...(grin!)

Rhea said...

I do dread the dinner question. And now that I'm working full time...they still expect me to handle dinner...and the dishes.

Hubby is not working.

Something about this doesn't seem right?!

Thank you for your new site! I just recently started a "dinner" blog for the exact same reason...the mags, clippings, loose paper were out to get me! I'm always looking for easy, kid friendly things to try, thank you! My dinner blog is at http://mylindasdinnerblog.blogspot.com if you want to stop by...you might even see one of your recipes (I'll give you kudos!) on there soon.
