Cook or no?

Cook or no?

That is the question. I certainly don’t mind cooking, but the problem is I don’t ever know what to make. Most of the time 4:00pm comes and I haven’t yet put a single thought into dinner. (like now for example. it is 3:36pm and have no idea what is on the menu for tonight.) I go to the fridge…nothing jumps out at me. So I go to the freezer….there are a lot of good choices there, however the problem is that it is all frozen. So now what?

I am not the kind of cook who can throw together bread crumbs, mayo and add a dash of lemon and voila! Dinner is served. I have to have a plan, a recipe, step by step instructions. At 4:00pm it is hard to come up with a plan when all of your options are frozen. Generally when this happens our dinner ends up being Thai, from our local yummy Thai place, cereal or quesadillas.

What do you do? Are you a weekly menu planner? Do you have a few stand by meals that you can whip up at the last minute? Help a girl out.
