Help!

I am in need of serious recipe or dinner planning help. I am in a cooking funk. I have no desire to cook and so when I do, it shows! I keep trying and once even Jeremy said, I'm sorry I just can't eat this. I am usually a pretty good cook and I was trying something new and it was just gross. Eggplant and fermented black beans - I should have known that having a fermented main ingredient was not a good sign! Justina posted a recipe and inspired me to ask for help. I am not even pregnant and I am in that nothing sounds good, I don't want to cook phase. Michael, at least is eating baby food so he doesn't have to suffer.  Thank you!

You are so funny! I know how you feel though, sometimes you just get sick of cooking the same things or anything really. Whenever this happens to me I usually go crockpot for a while! I tried this last week and Taylor and I loved it! You can also do it with a roast instead of chicken! I served it with a veg and rolls. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Julias-Easy-Slow-Cooker-Chicken/Detail.aspx
That is the link.

I also tried making ribs this week. Way easy and yummy! Brown them at 400 for 15 mins on each side 30 mins total, and then put them in the crockpot on low for 6 to 8 hours.

So this is long, but you asked haha, one more, do chicken breasts on low with a half cup of water and a packet of good seasons italian dressing mix for 3-4 hours. Combine package of cream cheese and a can of cream of chicken soup and pour over chicken. 30 mins more cooking time. Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta. That one I got from Lynne.

I have lots more yummy recipes that I could give to you if you want. i have a bunch of 30 min Rachel Rays that I love and some random others, if you want I can email them to you! Maybe you could email me some of your fams faves too! I dont think I have your email though.
