What is my problem? Someone tell me because I don't even know! I know I'm pretty pathetic, but I don't know if I should be pathetic because this thing stresses me out everyday, or because it is THE thing that stresses me out everyday. Let me give you a little more detail.
Every night before John comes home for work, I start thinking about what I need to cook for dinner. Now, here's the dilemma: I NEVER know what to cook for dinner.
Not only do I just not know what to cook, but it actually stresses me out! Of all the things that anyone has to worry about through the day, what to cook for dinner is my biggest worry.
I never use to have this problem. I don't know if it's an "I'm pregnant" problem or a "newly married" problem. Let's face it; I've been pregnant almost the entire time that I've been married.
I think it's an "I'm pregnant" problem because John never cares what we have to eat. He'll eat anything, so I don't have to worry about cooking something that he isn't going to like.
And it's just me. Let me tell you, my family for sure would starve if it weren't for Kuki's Kookbook. I love almost everything that she has put up. In fact, I can't even think of a time that I have cooked something that she posted that I didn't like.
Then there is my sister who always gives me ideas about what to cook for dinner. However, I turn all of them down. Not because they are too healthy or require effort to make, but because I just can't decide and nothing ever really sounds good to me.
So please, tell me what I should cook for dinner. If I turn your idea down, don't be offended. Just blame it on me being indecisive. However, don't let that discourage you from dropping off suggestions. I need them.
I had the same dilemma, but then I decided to try what my other friend suggested--plan a menu every week, and then buy all of the groceries you need for that week's meals. You will have about an hour of agony trying to plan a whole week's worth of meals, but it's better than stressing every night, wondering what's in the fridge and what you should do with it. I like to have my favorite cookbook handy, flip through and pick whichever meal sounds good for whichever day I want.
