The Brainy One likes to tell people that I hate cooking.
I don’t hate cooking at all.
I hate having to decide what to eat for dinner,
particularly when neither The Brainy One nor The Boy Child are
very forthcoming when asked, “What shall we have for supper?”
A friend pointed me in the direction of the Smart Recipes app.
Why was I even surprised that such an app exists?
The app is easy to use and has a whole range of ideas
for breakfast, lunch and supper.
I chose Chicken Couscous to start on.
Something not too far away from ingredients we eat regularly,
as I wanted all three of us to eat the same.
Couscous, tomatoes, cucumber, roast chicken, cranberries,
seasoning and chilli flakes {for The Brainy One}.
Three clear plates and a super easy recipe to follow.
I even felt confident enough to tweak the recipe as I went.
I recommend this app to anyone who feels that some extra ‘zing’
when meal planning wouldn’t go amiss.
It sounds good. I hate deciding what's for dinner too. So much that I'm talking about signing up to one of those recipe/ingredient delivery service things. Next year, though, when it's only the two of us.

It's the deciding I hate too! My lot are equally helpful when asked what they might like for dinner.

And here's yet another who hates that part of the process. Himself and I would be satisfied with something very quick and simple but my Dad expects a two course meal, and won't eat anything that he has already had in the previous week. Feeling your pain …

Oh yes, it's the trying to decide what to have dilemma here too! That couscous dish sounds very tasty.

that deciding moment often has me muttering too. “What shall we have to eat?” I ask. “I don't know” replies Mr M and sometimes youngest Son too.
On several occasions my mutterings go something like this
“And would you prefer that I-Don't-Know to be boiled fried or roasted?”
They usually look at me with that slapped puppy expression to make me feel guilty for giving them stress
~sigh~

Sounds like an app I should look into. I'm like you – I don't hate cooking, in fact I quite like it but it's the deciding with no input from hubby that gets me.
