Have the kids make dinner! When I went back to school, you each had a night to cook, and we made a list and shopped on Saturday. Although the little wheedler, who was just 6 at the time, could only manage frozen pizza, fish sticks or hot dogs, you rode your bike to the library and checked out cookbooks by Julia Child and James Beard. Then we were treated to Twelve-Boy Chicken Curry or mint dessert crepes with chocolate curls - everything was always garnished, and we all loved "Anne's Night." The good ol' days(?)

It is time to slow down and smell the roses. Life can be very short. The only thing you know for sure about living, is that you are alive this moment. Take time to enjoy the moment, tomorrow, work and problems may just all disappear in a moment. Like everyone else who work with and enjoy the computer I too have to remind myself these things. Thanks for the ideas and I will dump Simply Recipes into my feed reader Good ideas, though I feel the culture of work is over done. It is time to slow down and smell the roses.

It's so nice to make a huge pot of minestrone and feast on leftovers all week. And when you're looking for inspiration, I can strongly recommend dumping <a href="http://www.elise.com/recipes/" rel="nofollow">Simply Recipes</a> into your feed reader, not only for the great recipes (and excellent food photography) but also for the variations and tangent recipes that show up in the comments.

There are days here, where I too never end up leaving the house. And dinner? Oh yeah...forgot about that. The crockpot is great, and you've added quite a bit to my list! My family will appreciate this more than I, I expect. :) Great post. There are days here, where I too never end up leaving the house. And dinner? Oh yeah…forgot about that.

The computer and the limitless web are easy to get lost in, and the result is that many people forget about their overall health and well being -- physically and spiritually. Let's always temper relevant discussions with some good advice there. Lord knows I spend enough time on the computer, so I can say this. As they say, the question is will they be in servitude to us or the other way around? Let's be sure to not lose the things that really matter (like dinner w/ your family) or the revolution will be nil. --D Um. :) How about a post about knowing when to pull away from your computer, from your work?

It's darn cold here in Denver these days. Also, I've read that since it has so much liquid, it's very filling and good if you are trying to cut calories. @Deanna: yum, that sounds good! What a great one-dish meal. Glad you all enjoyed the post--very fun to write and reminds me of all the different ways I can get dinner on the table AND read my RSS feeds too. @Kevin: soup’s an excellent idea, especially for wintertime.

Cook 1lb. ground beef or turkey up, add a bunch of Worcestershire sauce. Put that in the bottom of a casserole dish; add 1 can of green beans as the next layer in the dish; then 1 can of corn; then finish off the top layer with mashed potatoes (I use the 4-serving amount on the box o' Hungry Jack). Bake that for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Lasts all week... reheats nicely (nothing in there gets chewy or anything)... super awesome winter-hibernation food. :-) A favorite from growing up is my dad’s “Masonville Hash.” Cook 1lb. ground beef or turkey up, add a bunch of Worcestershire sauce.

These are great for cook once eat throughout the week. You can make a very nice size pot of soup and freeze the extra so you you have dinner/lunch for the rest of the week. And soups are generally pretty easy and cheap! Your tip for "Slow cooking" is also a really good technique. Corned Beef is one of my favorite easy meals to slow cook. Nice post! Soups!
