[quote=bakersman][quote=Anonymous]OP here. The ideas have been so helpful!! And I'm proud to say that two nights in a row I've cooked recipes listed here and while my kids hardly ate as it wasn't mac n cheese or chicken nuggets, I figure they won't starve (there were veggie and fruit sides "acceptable" to them) and the more I cook real meals, the more likely it is that they will actually enjoy them. So, to answer Bakersman's questions--what an incredibly generous offer:

OP -

I'm willing to accept this challenge.

1. I'd say we are a 7. We buy mostly organic produce, dairy, meat, seafood, etc. And I don't want to serve beef more than one time a week...However, I've got a "meat and potatoes" type of husband and I don't actually like tofu and other meat-substitutes.

2. As for time, I think I've got an hour between the time I start cooking and the time dinner needs to be ready. My concern is actually a bit less the prep time but rather that I can't get to the grocery store more than about two times a week so I need to "buy in advance" for several of the meals.

3. No allergies.

4. Favorite food for me is seafood, but not for hubby and kids. They probably prefer chicken or beef.

5. I am intimidated by cooking as I never was taught it at home growing up and I have always leaned on take-out or VERY basic meals (pasta w/ red sauce, etc.) I'm ready to do more, as long as the steps and ingredients are limited. I figure the more comfortable I become in the kitchen (especially with timing, where I seem to fail most often) the more likely I am to branch out and take risks and try more interesting recipes.

THANK YOU!!! :)[/quote]
