Weekly Dinner Menu #5

I decided to start Weekly Dinner Menu post to help with your daily dinner dilemma.

If your life is anything like mine then most of the days you find yourself running around taking care of things and forgetting to plan dinner.

You get home all tired and your kids will ask that dreaded questions that you know it’s coming: :”What’s for dinner, mom!” followed by “I am starving”.

Then you run around looking everywhere and hoping that some quick dinner idea will pop into your head while staring inside the fridge, the pantry and the freezer.

Some days you are quick on your feet and you can come up with some quick dinner idea. Some days you actually plan dinner the night before or in the morning.Some days you just give up and head for the nearest drive thru.

Yes, we all been there once or twice. Maybe a lot?

To help prevent stressful days when everyone is tired, starving and there is no dinner in sight I decided to offer you some help to plan dinner for you.

On Mondays I will post Weekly Dinner Menu complete with links to appropriate recipes.

My Weekly Dinner Menu will include quick dinner ideas as well as more complex dinner menu. I will use my own recipes as well as my favorite recipes from Food Network and my fellow food bloggers.

Tomato Bruschetta

I will also include Dessert of the Week recipe to spruce up you dinners.
