Quandry

I'm in a quandry....  I want good flavoured good food that is quick and easy to make, but that my kids will eat.  I also want something that isn't full of hydrogenated vegetable oils and fat.  You see, I'm in a battle with my weight.  As the heavy kid in school and college, I ate what I wanted when I wanted.  Now, that I'm married with four kids having lost all that weight 3 times, I don't want to ever look or feel that way again.  So I'm looking for recipes...Good recipes.  I am so tired of the recipes that I make and especially when my husband is gone because I don't want to cook AT ALL.  So easy is best.  If any of you know of a place online I would be appreciative.  I have a cupboard full of recipe books and I'm just so tired of spending the time hunting.

Thanks much!

Please take the time to say hello.  I love hearing from you!!

jonelle,
just took a peek at your blog after seeing the address on your email to the home schoolers.
i don't know if you like beans, but we do brown rice and different kind of beans at least once a week...if half the world eats this as a staple, how can it be bad :). seriously, it is healthy and fast. my daughter adds cheese to hers, my husband hot sauce, my son just salt. another easy healthy thing is wheat tortillas with cheese and a veggie or two. take two tortillas with stuff in middle and make a quick quesadilla in a frying pan. you can top with tomatoes and lettuce or other veggies. kids like them cut into triangles and dipped in salsa.

i won't be able to make it sat to your spontaneous mno, but i hope it goes well and you all have good fellowship.

see you soon,
karen (crandall)
