Dinner time has always been a challenge for us because of the time we get home so in early February, I started sitting down on Sunday mornings and going through one cookbook and picking out our menu for the week Sun-Thur as we eat leaftovers etc on the weekends and then I make a huge trip to the grocery store and it has cut down my stress like I would never have believed. So far my favorite cookbooks by far are the Taste of Home/Quick Cooking ones... We are trying new stuff and have actually found a handful of new recipes that we really like and for our resident picky eater, if she doesn't like what we are having she is more than welcome to make herself a sandwich or have cereal because I only cook one meal a night.

Several weeks ago, I cook pork tenderloin, baked a chicken and made spaghetti sauce. Then we just warmed up when we got home during the week. It was pretty stress-free, although my son doesn't like most food, so he was a challenge. He can make his own peanut butter sandwich, though, so he isusually good to go. It gets complicated when the weekend activities threaten to take up the time I set aside to cook. Dinner is a never-ending challenge.
