Figuring out what’s for dinner–contest!

Sometimes I wish I were a movie star with my own personal chef. I don’t mind the cooking–it’s the menu planning that drives me insane. If someone would just tell me what to make for dinner, I can execute the plan. But inevitably I come home and waffle about what sounds good to eat. Or we get stuck in a rut of the same-old, same-old dinners. :blahblah:

Now I could get creative and start rummaging through gourmet cookbooks. But more often than not, gourmet foods are downright strange. And, I hate to say it, but I don’t normally keep goat cheese and pine nuts in my cupboard. Macaroni and cheese, yep.

My husband is frightened when I begin looking for new recipes. My success rate hasn’t been that good. But I seem to be a glutton for punishment, and I keep trying.

So, I am going to host a quickie contest. You have 10 hours to figure out what I should cook for dinner tonight. You don’t have to post a recipe–you can just say: spaghetti. (Unfortunately, my family is sick to death of spaghetti, so that one’s out.)

What am I giving away? Holiday chocolates (probably Snickers Santas or something along those lines) and a free book of your choice.

Just post a comment, offering a suggestion. Enter as many times as you like! Bring a friend! (And yes, my secret hope is that you folks will help me plan dinner for the next month or so.)
