Clavus has a nice mom!! That's a great idea - having a cookbook of your favorite meals.
Over time I've collected hundreds of great recipes and I try to rotate them, esp. seasonally. It makes life more interesting. My hubby loves that I mix up the menus often so he's not bored with the same old meals.
Lots of very good ideas in this thread. I suggest that they choose their favorites and find the easiest versions of those to start trying. If a recipe has too many steps or tricky methods, I don't enjoy making it as often.
My Best Rule: 1. Never grocery shop when you are hungry.
2. Also have some staples in the cupboard in case you are without power or too lazy to go to the store!
