What to make for dinner?
Okay, this post is not a recipe, but I can never think of what to make for dinner! I usually ask my kids on Sunday to think of a "pick" for the next week. Sometimes they have to help me with dinner the night of their pick. They have to choose a main dish, a veggie, and sometimes they choose a bread/drink/dessert. Sometimes I choose the last three or they don't have one.... Anyway, here are some ideas for meals, mostly for myself when I can't seem to think of anything to cook...
