Hungry?

Through the summer, I admit, I am a terrible cook. We eat very basic, because I hate to stand over a hot stove or heat up my kitchen with the oven on 30 degree days. But the past couple of days, since it has cooled off a bit, we have been eating really well. I have to give all...well most of the credit to this website.  Allrecipes.com has become my new favorite website. It has thousands of ideas to change up your regular menu. You can create your own recipe box, shopping lists, and even your own recipe book. You can even type in the ingredients that you want and the ones that you don't want and then do a search to see what there is. I have found many simple, quick and tasty meals, as well as some that are a little more gourmetish. Everyone needs to check it out. Guaranteed you will find something to suit your tastes.

Here are a few that we have enjoyed.
Cheesy Beef 'n' rice - all of the girls loved this. It was a great quick dinner. I was lucky to have fresh parsley and basil on hand and WOW was that good.
Creamy Macaroni and Cheese - again the girls loved this. I didn't have Dijon mustard on hand so I justed used dry mustard (1/4 tsp or so) and I also added some paprika (1/2 tsp). We then added some ham and peas to the girls. And I added ham, green beans, green and red peppers and dash of hot red pepper flakes for some heat. Once again it was so good. Check out some of the other suggestions for veggies to add on that page.
Breaded Hamburgers - We liked this too. Simple and easy. The girls liked dipping it into Ketchup.
Joe's Favorite Hamburgers - These worked out great on the grill. I did read the review and made some of the suggested changes, unfortunately I don't really remember which changes I made. But they tasted great.
Pizza On The Grill I - This one I blogged about before. So go try it if you haven't already.
Here area a few that I look forward to trying in the future.
Brie Pecan Rollups with Raspberry Sauce
Chicken and Pasta in a Mango Cream Sauce
Byrdhouse Spicy Chicken and Peaches
Skillet Bow Tie Lasagna
Cumin Stuffed Chicken Breasts
Swiss Enchiladas - I didn't know the Swiss made Enchiladas.

I have a whole recipe box full of recipes I want to try. But you should really go look for yourself and find your own treasures.
