Like I said in my previous post, I'm a new housewife and so it's only now that I'm really preparing all the meals at home. Sometimes, I ran out of ideas of what to cook. Can you give me suggestions or ideas? I just search in the internet when I remember a dish my husband and I love. It's hard to try recipes that I'm not familiar with because based on my experience, I tried something that wasn't that good the food was just wasted. Can you help me out?

No, I never run out of idea. When I get stumped, I go to one of my 50 cookbooks and just leaf through. When in a time pinch, I will go to ALL RECIPES, my favorite recipe site to look up ingredients that I have on hand and want to use and have the computer do the work for me to come up with recipes for the ingredients that I search for.
