cooking for family

I know what you mean. I have been in the same boat. I have gone to many sites just to find out other things to make and even asked relatives for new recipes. I do have to say though when it comes down to it cooking the same things over is just easier sometime because I have already perfected the recipe and I know that the family likes it.

I used to feel that way, but now cooking has become a hobby for my hubby and I and we really enjoy trying new recipes and trying to recreate dishes that we've eaten when we go out for dinner. We love to tweak until we get dishes to our liking. If I had to do all of the cooking myself then I doubt very much that I'd be so keen to try out new dishes though!

Yes I have that same problem. So lately we have been trying to make different things that are also fun to make like calzones and pizza and chili or soups and stews. These things are different and help to add a variety to the same old same old.
