I'm not Martha Stewart

About a week I go I was figuring something out - I'm not trying to brag at all, it was just an observation that I noticed it, but now I'm going to try to keep it up... what is it you ask?! Well let me tell you.

I noticed whilst picking out what to make for dinner - that since Christmas - I haven't really repeated any meals, let me repeat - I have not cooked repeat meals since Christmas - now keep in mind, I'm not counting if there is a date night and I throw pasta or chicken nuggets at the kids, or the 3 times we've had tacos this year so far because the kids adore them and we had a gaggle of kids over and they are easy - and of course leftover night and maybe ordered pizza once - but of the dinners I've been making for our family in general have not been the same since sometime before Christmas. This doesn't count sides like salad or rice but I mean mains for dinner.

So now it's like a contest to keep coming up with different ideas every single day. I'm not going fancy or anything - sometimes it's down right, well - boring... But while I do have picky kids just like anyone else - they eat what I serve and get on with it.

So for example - last night we had steamed fish I - Asian Style like my grandma used to make...
one of my absolute favs.... I even called to tell my mom to make her jealous!



So what have I been cookin' in the kitchen? Let me think....

Fish - Asian, Couscous
Fried Rice & asian hot dogs (lop cheung) sp?
Breaded parmesan chicken
Home made pizza, cinnamon rolls
Thai Green Curry
Chinese Stir-fry
Lamb chops
Sweet & Sour Meatballs
Beef Thai Salad
Spaghetti & Meatballs
Homemade Mac & Cheese
Chopped Salad
Pancakes
Beef Bourguingnon (yes, from scratch)


That's all I can remember at the moment but obviously I'll be keeping track now! I'm just curious how long I can keep it up before I slip back to boring-ville! But even if I slip a little - I want to see if I can keep it up at least 5 days out of 7 if I'm cooking them all... stay tuned and I'll keep you posted! If you have any ideas or yummy recipes, send them over please!!

What's on for tonight you ask? Homemade beef pot pies......
