Tantalizing Dinner Recipes

Dinner recipes can be hard to come up with day after day, meal after meal.  Many people get into a menu rut, rotating between the same recipes endlessly.  Families often find, when examining their food selection, that they constantly eat the same meals while ignoring some old favorites.  Random meal selection results in that situation.  Because people have so much to do they often ignore the healthy eating.

Prior planning is important when designing a menu and recipes to cook from it.  When a menu is planned in advance the selection becomes more diverse.  Meal time is as much about the overall experience as it is about taste and nutrition.  Everyone can enjoy the same basic food if it's made into a variety of different meals.

Take ground beef for example.  With bread (buns) and some vegetables it can become a hamburger  That's a taco too.  While very different in the eyes and taste buds of most people, hamburgers and tacos share many of the same basic ingredients.  One food can make many different recipes and thus meals.  Here's another.  The simple potato and a chicken.  Fried chicken and French fries aren't too healthy.  Roasting both will save the waist line.  Still chicken and potatoes.  Many people eat chicken salad sandwiches with chips on the side.  Chicken pot pie.  Chicken Teriyaki may not include potatoes, but it includes a starch in the white rice.  A few basic foods can lead to great variety.

Try more than one meat.  Cut up chicken and steak, potatoes and vegetables.  Put them on skewers or sticks and grill.  Those are delicious kebabs.  Steak and lobster is fun for adults and kids.  The same deep fryer can cook both a fried turkey and some fish and chips for an early snack.

What about sources for meal ideas?  Cooking shows are all over the television.  They not only have practical cooking tips, but have web sites with even more information on dinner recipes.  Speaking of on line, food ideas abound on web sites.  Try a Google or MSN search for dinner ideas.  Nobody could every get through all the available info online.
