My husband and I love cooking, and we love cooking together. When we were dating we used to cook meals together all the time. So lately, you know since we became parents, finding the time and the energy to get creative in the kitchen has been a challenge. And I have to admit, we've cheated pretty regularly - family size frozen chicken pot pie - delish! But also super easy to make from scratch so why not make it ourselves?!
Over the years I've gotten in the habit of looking up new recipes on Pinterest instead of perfecting some oldies and sticking them into regular rotation. I've also been searching for what I hope will be my go-to meals, you know the meals your mom
regularly made when you were growing up. The meals that my
kids are going to remember with fondness and that will be the first
meals they learn how to cook on their own.
My mom made some really great food when I was a kid. To this day I still make her Enchiladas, Lasagna, and Egg Rolls (recently resurrected in our kitchen to my husbands sheer delight). But I'm not sure what my signature meals are....we do a lot of pasta in our house - which I'm trying to cut down on but its just so darn good and easy! And I started working on a chicken and rice casserole that I haven't yet perfected. When I think about it, we don't eat much red meat - so maybe I should try a few new recipes in that category.
What are your family's go-to meals? Do you have any good suggestions for us?
