What's for dinner?

I know, I know... It's been a while since I blogged... Please forgive me.

So hopefully you've been using your computer to peruse the supermarket circulars of ALL the supermarkets in your neighborhood, looking online for printable manufacturer's coupons and making a shopping list of items that are on sale. If you have a membership or know of a friend who belongs to Costco you've been buying bulk and splitting the cost. Your pantry, refrigerator, and freezer are well stocked with your sale purchases.

Now what?

If you are tired of your favorite recipes (sometimes it happens) just use the search engine on your computer or websites like Food Network, Gourmet, Epicurious, All Recipes, etc... and enter in a vegetable, protein, and/or starch that you have and a few recipes will show up. Pick one that interests you and your taste buds. If you have basic cooking skills this shouldn't be so daunting to take on a new recipe. Just make sure that you follow instructions or videos provided. Don't be afraid to experiment. You might find a new favorite.

Tip: I keep my flour and sugar in airtight zip lock bags to maintain freshness and keep little buggers from getting into them. Fresh vegetables and fruits should not be left sitting in the refrigerator in the plastic bags that you put them in when you bought them at the supermarket. Moisture gets trapped in there and they could spoil faster. Put them into the crisper or drawer marked for them or in an airy plastic basket lined with paper toweling.
