Welcome to Dinner This Week


What’s for dinner?  For many of us this is one of the most dreaded questions we may hear on a regular basis.  If it comes from a spouse or child, it often comes across as a challenge.  It’s like them daring you to answer. (By the way, the correct answer is “I don’t know what you are making?”).  When you ask yourself the question, it can be full of dread.  Trying to come up with something new often times is quite stressful. 

 
I read awhile back that most people eat about ten different meals on a regular basis.  I would say that I fall into this category.  About a year ago I started making a weekly menu to make my life easier (which it has).  I also created a “dinner idea” list which is often my goto while planning the next week’s menu. However, I must say that I am lacking a great variety in my meal choices.  While I often have the desire to come up with new menu choices, I often do not find the time to make it happen.  That is where this year New Year’s resolution comes in.  It is about time that I made the time to liven up my weekly menu.

 
For 2013 one of my resolutions, or as I prefer goals, is to make one new meal each week: 52 new meals. I am not putting any restrictions on these meal, other than I must not have made them before.  I came up with this idea during early December, and have begun searching for new recipes already. As part of this goal I plan to do a weekly entry on my new meal of the week.   So if you have found this site Welcome!  Check back each week to see what’s for Dinner This Week.
