What's for Dinner

I love to cook and really, really LOVE to bake!!  I used to cook dinner every night, trying to be creative.  I also used to bake several times a week.  Over the years, my meals have gotten less and less creative and I bake about once a month.  Not because I don't want to, but because my life and priorities have changed.  Let's face it, having a family is busy in itself and I'm hear to tell you that having 5 kids means that you have to let some things slide and not beat yourself up about it.  So, I've been there and done that!!  My goal for 2012 (since after 12 yrs at home I finally have all my kids in school) is to make more homecooked meals, bake some fabulous desserts to share.....and actually sit down at the table.  I'd love to be able to share some success stories with all of you.  Tonight we're having baked chicken breasts and drumsticks (something for everyone) and some yummy rice recipe that Emma found in her Paula Deen's My First Cookbook!!!  I'm going to set the table and enjoy some time with my family, regardless of how unruly everyone behaves.  Wish me luck!!!  I'm post some pics later......
