Home Cooking

I wanted to share with you all this website I came across while surfing the net looking for some recipes for "one-dish" meals, www.backofthebox.com, I have fell in love with it. I'm still adding to my recipe collection as I type, they sound like some really good dishes and I can't wait to try them out! Saturday I spent the most part of the day doing the "once a month cooking" for the first time, well a condensed version for 11 days worth, I had a good time doing it and am looking forward to seeing how they turned out. Today we had the "Joe's to Go" (a tasty version of sloppy jo's), I had it thawing out it the fridge overnight, and when we got home from church all I had to do was throw it in the microwave and serve. Just a matter of minutes! We were all finished eating a homecooked meal by 1:10pm! Tomorrow night we'll be trying the cheesy corn casserole, i'll let you know how it turned out. I feel really good about having done this for the family, even though Derrick says I don't have to cook everynight and he doesn't expect it, and even though I know the kids will complain about the onions and green peppers and all those other good things incorporated into it. But I say it's better than a Hot Pocket or corndog every night. Maybe they will appreciate it when they get older and out of the house, I know that I did about my mom. I loved our home cooked meals.
