Check out this super cute recipe card! Its a free pdf from the blog Vol. 25. (She has some other really cute downloads too - like love notes for your lover!) I'm trying to do better at meal planning and right now my recipe binder is just a billion printed pages that I can't never seem to sort through so I'm excited to put them on real recipe cards!
Do you meal plan? I'm not very good at coming up with something to make off the top of my head at the end of the day when we are both tired and hungry- I'm too much of a planner for that. So I have been gathering recipes I know we like to have on hand, picking two of them on Sunday night and adding whatever ingredients we don't already have to my shopping list for that week. That way I know that when hottie honey's stomach growls we have at least two options for a home made dinner. (Sometimes we still opt for pizza but who doesn't like a good pizza once and while! :) ) Do you have any easy-breezy dinners you love to make? I would love to give them a try! :)

We are terrible at planning meals which leads to many nights of eating out. I have a Facebook group called: Kiss the Freakin' Cook. It has some of my recipes on there...I find it always best to have frozen ground beef or chicken around because you can make anything with those two ingredients. Have you checked out a product called Steamfresh? They sell veggies and sides you can just microwave bag and all.
I have tons! I have an awesome book called What's For Dinner that has 30 weeks of every day meals planned for you. It has main dishes, sides, and desserts. I usually just do the main dish, but I love it and I have a ton of easy delicious meals from it. If you want to take a look at it, come on over!
My FAVORITE spontaneous dinner is shrimp and noodles. I boil fettucine not just in water, but with a can of chicken broth added in, then (when the noodles are almost done) I use my potato peeler and put in "zucchini noodles". You can use carrots and squash too. Then I saute Jumbo Shrimp (smiths has the best frozen) in butter and season with salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder, and lemon and herb seasoning and pour it over the drained noodles. A little butter goes a long way when it comes to pouring over the noodles.
I have a few nice recipes. I especially love crock pot cooking. You can leave it all day, and you come home to yummy smells and good food. My cousin also started trying a new recipe every Monday. She and a friend trade off doing dinner using a recipe that's new to them every Monday. She's found some pretty great stuff and usually posts the recipe.
