Lately, planning our meals for the week has been a painstaking process. Our Sunday mornings usually go like this...
Me: "Bartek, what do you want to eat this week?"
Bartek: (stares at the TV, not answering)
Me: "Hon....hello?!? What do you want to eat this week?"
Bartek: "Uhhhh I don't know. Chicken" (continues to stare at TV)
Me: "Ok, that's one day. What do you want the rest of the week?"
Bartek: (no answer)
and on, and on, and on...
Yes, we are in a dinner rut! We seem to make the same meals every week!
And then I remembered! The recipe box! My lovely bridesmaids put this together for my bridal shower. They asked each of my guests to write down their favorite recipe. And they put them all in the super cute box.
So we pulled out a recipe from my lovely friend, Marta, for Garlic Shrimp Linguine! It was delicious! And took maybe 15 minutes to make!
I was thinking, people do cookie swaps all the time. Why not do a recipe swap? Other people have such great ideas that you never think of. Why not spice it up? Having a nice box of recipes as a go-to makes things so much easier when you and your husband are clueless.
What do you do when you're in a rut?
