Dinner time...

As I was hauling in the grocery's today I was thinking about how many dinners (breakfast's, lunches and snacks) I have already made myself, my husband and our kids in this lifetime... and realized that I wasn't even close to being halfway done.  Cooking is just part of my everyday life.  I have found a few things that help me organize throughout the years though...
1.)  I plan out my weeks worth of dinners on Sunday and make a grocery list.  Then on Monday I actually go and buy everything on my list so I have everything I need to make my ideas for the week.
2.)  I am trying to make the kids meals similar to what we eat so I'm not making two completely different meals every night.  But sometimes I still do.
3.)  I am trying to enjoy cooking!

Trying is the key word b/c it's not really one of my favorites.  But I find that if I am organized and have what I need... and have an idea of what to make it's really not so bad!  I can enlist the help of Olivia and Ellee who like to "help" if you can call it that.

I just signed up with door to door organic's to receive fruits and veggies every wednesday.  I'm so excited about it!  It sounds so great!  My only issue with it is that it's not Monday... so I still had to buy some produce to get us through the first half of the week.  Hopefully it'll be a hit... I'll keep you posted.
