Helps for dinner

Whenever it comes to what we are going to eat for diner, I always feel a little overwhelmed. There are so many things I want to try, but it seems like when it comes time to do the cooking I hit a roadblock. I can't remember what it was I wanted to try, we don't have the ingredients, I'm feeling lazy (I don't get home until 6:30 so if it isn't a quick meal, we eat late), etc.

I've started trying to plan a menu, wither for the week or the month and this has helped so much in making sure we have the ingredients and a plan. It also makes it easy for Ben to see what's for dinner, and he can get started on it before I get home :)

Last month while I was working downtown, I perused the monthly insert in the paper called Dash and discovered a gem when it comes to dinner help. They have great recipes that are easy and quick. Some of our favorites included: Bowties with Chicken and Sweet and Sour Chicken.

I hope you (Shannon) find it as helpful as I have!
