Dinner anyone?

Hi!!! I'm just starting dinner. My Dad comes over 4 to 6 nights a week to eat with us. He's been single for 30 years and used to eat at my Grandma's or out. Grandma is 96 now, so I've taken over feeding Dad.

I'll let you in on a little secret, I don't enjoy cooking in the least. My Grandma and all my aunts cooked for a fancy resteraunts for years. That's a lot to live up to. However, I've learned to quit eating/ordering out and make dinner for my family. dad coming over keeps me disciplined. Besides you know your eating out too much when your daughter says, "Do we have to go out again?"

I'm also now, no stranger to Aldi's and places like Erie County Farms. I've also been seen perusing the Sunday paper grocery adds and can save a lot with coupons. Would you believe I actually even feel proud after I've made my family a full meal. This cooking thing is also easier on both my budget and my waistline.
