I've never been very interested in cooking. As a matter of fact, I've never even had much of an interest in food in general. I never go to restaurants and dissect the recipes, I just eat what I'm in the mood for and if I don't gag and get enough calories, then woo hoo another one bites the dust.

I felt terribly sorry for the man I convinced to marry me and my future posterity that I figured I better learn some go-to impressive meals before Oakley gets old enough to understand that I suck. Every mom is a good cook right?

So first things first, I jumped over to Pinterest and printed some recipes that sounded easy enough, but homemade and tricky looking so I can fool the in-laws when they come for dinner and so they don't feel just as sorry for Aaron as I do.

I made a shopping and meal list for the week and I'm here to report that is is Friday and I'm still kicking strong! I also have to admit that I am partially enjoying it. I realized the reason for hating making dinner in the past is dishes. I absolutely hate doing all the dishes, and you have to do them EVERY SINGLE DAY (because I'm OCD and have to have clean and clear counters before I go to bed). I just need to get over it. They take me 10 minutes max and whats that compared to the hours of tv I sit on my butt and watch everyday while I feed my precious little baby. I can do it. 

Here's what we had:

Monday: Aunt Sue Burrito Casserole with chips and freshly made guac/salsa

Tuesday: Chicken and Gnocchi Soup via Pinterest (Olive Garden fake recipe.. turned out delish!)

Wednesday: Breakfast for dinner, Fancy Eggs, Waffles, and Fruit

Thursday: Aaron's brothers birthday dinner so I didn't actually cook

and right now I'm working on THESE breadsticks, and Lasagna Roll Ups, a recipe I got from a lady in my old ward. 

and to come we have:

Homemade Pizza (yumm) and smoothies

Baked Mac n Cheese

and I believe that once a week you MUST eat a Baked Potato (and my husband agree's, that's why we're married)

It's so hard for me to get out of the loop of the same meals but my goal is to try a new recipe once a week and roll from there. I am determined.

In other news. I'm up to date with my Project Life 365 and I'm really enjoying it. I am so excited to see where the rest of the year takes us. I'm going to start having to get more and more creative. Also it will be fun to look back and see little O growing up.

I love Spring:)
