I am about to do something very scary.

I am about to commit to doing something on this blog, on a specified day, every week. 

Why would I torture myself like this?  Not sure, except I think it will be good for my family in the end.  And you know me...always out to do good.

So here's the deal.  Starting this week on Friday Aug. 27, 2010 (I'm making this very official, so I'll stick with it.) I will post the upcoming week's menu plan for all to see.  This is scary, I tell you.   I'm hoping blog pressure will be the extra little kick in the pants to get me in gear.  I don't hate cooking - I don't really even mind it, but I DO hate it when I don't know what's for dinner.  This is nothing new.  I've whined about it before, but IT KEEPS HAPPENING!  I keep not making a menu.  And I keep getting stressed out by my lack of organization.  With school, soccer, and music lessons starting soon, it's got to stop.   Now, Carrie. NOW!

I don't claim this to be a cooking blog.  oh ho ho... that would be funny.  And it might be terribly humilating to publicly post some of the dinners I cook up for the fam (or pour out of the box, if it's cereal night), but it's all for the greater good here, so I'm swallowing my pride.

If I find a recipe online, I'll link up to it so everyone can benefit.  I'll try to share at least one of my recipes I'm using each week also.  But I'm keeping it real.  Seriously,  I am NOT committing to post 7 recipes each week because I know that would never happen.  If I can just list 7 dinners each Friday for the next week, that'll be HUGE.  I would LOVE it if anyone is interested to share ideas and recipes.  We'll see how it goes.  Maybe it will turn out to be a big giant inspirational cooking fest,  and we will all come away with new recipes and a new drive to feed our families the absolulte best.  Maybe friends will flock from near and far to see the orderliness of my dinner planning.  Maybe...but probably not.  I'll settle for a decently fed family and some time away from dinnertime frazzmom.  That will be a good thing. 

Yeehaw!  I can't wait to get started.
