I find I still cater to Kazi's taste and so yes, we eat the same things again and again. I want to go more East Indian and I love soups and stews and meatless meals.

If I dont I get brain rut which is probably harder to deal with than a food rut. If my old knees would just cooperate I would try even more, but that's just not happening.Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388810380797297879.post-48923567818430473122016-03-04T11:51:26.202-08:002016-03-04T11:51:26.202-08:00I think most of us get into food ruts.

I am very bad about taking pictures of something I made, beginning a post and then letting it sit unfinished for several days. It looks like I am making back to back meals when it might have been 2 weeks since I cooked the actual food.

You post about food fairly often and rarely do you have something you grilled. Or that's my perception and of course you know, that life is not reality, it's perception.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388810380797297879.post-26152095094683477152016-03-03T23:22:05.759-08:002016-03-03T23:22:05.759-08:00When my kids were growing up, I often felt I cooke...When my kids were growing up, I often felt I cooked the same meals repeatedly. I solved the problem by seeking new recipes, and by letting my children plan the meals. They got to take turns choosing our supper menu once a week. They couldn't select dessert as the main course. The meal had to include a vegetable. It was fun.<br /><br />Love,<br />JanieJanie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.com
