I'm sure if you ask Marcus he might tell you that my cooking has not been the highlight of our marriage. Now, I believe that it is not because I am a bad cook (I hope) but because it's hard to find recipes that are actually good...seriously good. There are a handful of dinners that we both like and I make well, but let's just be honest, we are sick of eating the same old four dinners over and over again!
Now, here's the point of this post. I have a zillion and four cookbooks that I have bought because they looked like they were full of great recipes. Let me just say, many of them were decieving. Anyway, I am BEGGING any of you blog readers out there to share a really good dinner recipe with me. (I know you have some Kristine Lynn...I especially want the chicken a'la king one with the rice pilaf, the monterrey chicken one, your dad's chili recipe, and the meatball recipe, oh yeah, and the hot wing recipe...I know you gave them all to me before, but they were lost when my little recipe notebook went for a ride in the garbage disposal while the water was running).
Anyway, PLEASE, anyone, HELP ME! Let me know what you make for dinner that is good. It doesn't have to be anything fancy (in fact I prefer simple). My poor little family is getting sick of McDonalds and Mac and Cheese.
P.S. Laney, we would love the recipe for the teriyaki chicken you and Steve made that one time. We've been craving it!

Yum, Yum, Yum. I like the foods that you make, but I do agree we could use more variety of meals.
