Kids Challenge
A week ago my kids were complaining that I don't make the recipes I used to make. I admit that yes I am in a rut and find it hard to come up with something fabulous night after night. I also find it hard to want to cook, when I say, " I think I will make such and such" and one of the family members says," oh not that, I am not in the mood for that." A bit frustating when everyone would like to have something different.
I laid down the law years ago, that this, is not a restaurant, there will not be several different meals served on one night. I do make a nice meal most nights, but it seems, I have been making the same things over and over according to my kids.
I told the kids and hubby, I wanted input from them. What do you want me to make? Make me a list of at least 5 items each, of dishes you want me to make. There was some grumbling amongst the troops, they thought I was upset..... until I explained that I needed their help. If they were going to complain, I needed input. What are the recipes,that I used to cook, do you want me to cook more often?
Finally a list was made and handed to me from each person. Here are the lists.
