Mama's Little Helper

No... not Zoloft... you sick women...

How many of us are tapped out emotionally and creatively? How many of you have made the same five meals in the last two months? I'm here to tell you that I have. So imagine my amazing happiness when I found a site filled with easy cooking: http://www.workitmom.com/. It's for Working Moms... which is EVERY mom (can I get an AMEN?)!

I don't have to be a perfect mom for my kids to love me. I can... and will... admit my shortcomings. That includes losing my love of cooking. I'm okay with that. Especially since I am now my target weight. Amazing what a separation and loss of appetite can do for you. But the kids... they still need to eat, so MANGIA!

Don't say I never did anything for you.

Amen sista! glad to hear that I'm not the only mom on the planet that has lost that lovin cookin feelin. I find that for our lifestyle if I have a supply of lean meat to grill, fresh veggies and some kind of pasta or couscous even good bread, I can have dinner ready quick and easy. Every now and then, my kids love pancakes for dinner! Easy!! But I will say that I still pull out recipes I see in mags and have a stash put away. Very seldom do I actually use them but it makes me feel good to have that stash! ha! And one day I will make a recipe book. one day....cl
