Welcome to my kitchen!

I've always enjoyed eating. Always.

When I was younger, it didn't matter what I ate - I could eat everything I loved, in any amount. As I'm getting older, and as a mom, I'm much more health conscious. But just because I want me and my family to eat healthy, that doesn't mean I don't want to enjoy the food every bit as much as I did when I was younger. Also, now that I'm the main cook in the kitchen, I don't want to be stuck in the kitchen all day preparing the food - that's not enjoyable! I don't know about you, but I find myself dreading the never ending question of "what's for dinner?" As soon as I figure one day out, it's back again the next!

So I'm hoping to solve all my dinner dillemas with this blog, and hopefully y'all will help me out! I want to know what you're eating for dinner this week - FOR REAL. Not your fancy party recipes. Real, everyday dinner recipes that you go to over and over again because they're fast, convenient, healthy and your family enjoys eating it.

Maybe even your menus for the week if you're feeling ambitious! Or what you ate last week. Then we could just use each other's weeks and how convenient would that be - to not have to think it all up week after week after week after week...

You'll also see what I'm doing in my kitchen at this time in my life, where ever that may be... So please feel free to post your great ideas, your everyday ideas, your go to ideas when the day has been out of control and it's now dinner time and your kids are asking, "what's for dinner?"

So invite your friends, hop on the band wagon! Maybe by coming together, we can make the chore a little easier on us all. Here goes!
