I would love any recipe, like I said...cheap and easy to prepare. I am tired of not having any new ideas for dinner, so I thought I might give asking for some help a try...I appreciate any new recipes...

I also get an email each week from Better Homes and Gardens wonderful and great recipes. Some taking less than 20 minutes to prepare. Might want to check out their website and see if you can subscribe to that. Not the magazine but the recipes. I can't remember how I got started.

This is the best recipe ever!

You buy the chocolate chip already made cookie dough at Costco. You let your kids and the babysitter bake it up and do the dishes while you are gone with your sweetie to a movie! :)
