I am in a funk. A menu planning funk.
I have been sitting at my kitchen bar staring at cookbooks for over 30 minutes and do you know what I have planned for dinner so far this week?!? Hot Dogs. Yes, that is right. Hot dogs. And I didn't even find the idea for them in one of the stinking cookbooks. It is a sad, sad state I am in.
I keep trying to figure out what my problem is this week. I usually love to plan our meals. Cookbooks excite me. Oh yeah, I used the word excite and I meant it very much. I usually like to try new things. Apparently not this week.
Here is my problem...Tuesday night I have bunko at my house and need to come up with some appetizers and a yummy desert. So far...I have nadda ideas. Then, Thursday night we have some friends coming over for dinner. Again...I have nadda ideas. Maybe it is the pressure...maybe I am just tired of cooking....maybe it is this nasty, freezing cold weather...maybe the thought of getting out in this weather with a baby to get groceries just doesn't do it for me. All that sounds about right.
Any ideas/suggestions for me? Too bad I couldn't just take a week off and our groceries would magically refill themselves and we would have hot, yummy dishes every night. Too bad...

First of all, we had hot dogs last night. Don't feel bad. Second of all, you've got to just depend on good 'ol Pioneer Woman. I seriously planned almost our whole week around her. I couldn't get creative either. Anyway, worked for us!
ReplyDeleteI haven't planned meals for weeks! All the soccer practices are killing me. But tomorrow we'll have chili, that's as far as I've gotten. By the way, I also LOVE looking thru cookbooks!
