Man people don't have a lot of time to cook. That's right, they live full lives. Between work and school and other activities they're lucky if they have time to stop at a fast food joint much less prepare quality meals at home. Often it's not a matter of cooking itself, but rather of coming up with dinner ideas for quick, healthy, inexpensive meals for the whole family. It's not that hard, folks. A seven day menu isn't all that hard to plan for people who know where to look. Here are a few good dinner ideas for delicious meals the whole family can enjoy.
Fairs and street vendors often have corn dogs, an American favorite. It's delicious and easy, even though not exactly healthy. Coat the hot dogs with batter made of flour, corn meal, milk, salt, sugar and baking powder, then fry them until golden. You an even add a corn dog stick to make it feel authentic.
Way back when, in colonial times, dinner was a lighter snack followed by supper later in the day. Social status and job type dictated changes in this over time. Physical laborers needed an afternoon dinner to keep up their strength throughout the grueling day. As times change and we move away from regular meals at home, dinner has become the anchor that keeps families together and signals the end of the out of the home portion of the day and the beginning of at home leisure time. Most people call the big meal either or both of supper or dinner. The late meal can be light especially for people who are weight conscious. Go the traditional dinner route with a light soup or roast chicken salad.
Try crock pot cooking. Set it up in the morning then enjoy a great meal at night. The crock pot can handle the entire meal. Cook a roast with some cut up potatoes and carrots. Stop on the way home for a hot loaf of bread. You can also let the bread slide if you're worried about the waist line.
It's not that hard to cook well, for example grilled steak and baked potatoes. Use Google to find more great dinner ideas. There are tons on line.
