Dinner Ideas

Angelyn inspired me to have a list of my family favorite dinner ideas posted on the inside of my pantry door. This list gives a quick reference for things to make for dinner instead of spending 20 minutes just deciding what to make. The list also increases as I try new recipes that my family enjoys, so I don't forget them, and our dinners don't get too monotonous. I also did the same lists for Breakfast, sides, drinks, and desserts, so if I'm ever hosting something or just want a variety of options, I refer to my little list. Here is my list, and I have many of the recipes somewhere on my computer, if anyone wants any. Just let me know.
