Hi,
I’m sure many of you out there are in the same position as me. I have a limited selection of recipes that are on a constant rotation. My family can anticipate what is for dinner just by the day of the week. I need help! I love cooking but I just don’t have time to find new recipes. Does anyone have any good recipes or websites where I can find some great meals that don’t take hours to prepare?

I used to have many people come to the Deli where I worked in the grocery store and buy the sliced Roast Beef to take home to heat up to make Beef Dip. They claimed it was better than roasting it yourself as it was sliced thinner. The one everyone seemed to like the best was Freybe Garlic Roast Beef.
Reblog .Thanks for the new website. I'm glad you enjoyed the date turnovers. :)
Thanks to all those who submitted recipes and suggestions. I made those date turnovers and they were a hit!! I think I ate most of them but regardless they are much better than eating store bought cookies!
I just thought that I woudl mention a website I cam across that I think it fantastic. It's called MealEasy.com and they are a meal planning service provider. Basically, after answering some questions about your family's dietary needs a weekly menu is generated for you every week with fantastic recipes and the best part of this service is that a grocery list is available outlining everythign you need to cook the recipes for the entire week. So no running back and forth to the grocery store every day. The meals are nutritcious and delicious. Knowing what you are going to make for lunch and dinner has facilitated my life. I would recommend it to anyone!

Everyone needs a slow cooker IMO. You basically throw the meat in before you leave the house in the morning and when you come home you can add vegetables or cook them on their own. It's not only a time saver but allows you to buy cheaper cuts of meat that come out fork tender. My favourites are ribs and roasts done in the slow cooker. I've never actually made anything that required liquid in the slow cooker like a stew since I love the dryer method of cooking in the slow cooker.
It is on allrecipes.com if you enter french dip in the search it is the one submitted by ROBYN BLOOMQUIST.in the meantime I will study this . :)
Thanks Sweetpea3, I wll check it out.
Thanks for the recipe DBD, I am going to try this this weekend.
DBD; I have the same cookbook as your Mom's .After being married 43 yrs you collect an awful lot of family & friends recipes. This date turnover recipe is very ,very easy to make .I always make a batch for my 83 yr. old neighbours and they rave about them.They also freeze well . :)
No problem.
Gads I love those date oatmeal cookies! My mom used to make them. When we were clearing out my mom's things after she died I caught my brother throwing out her recipe box (you know those boxes held together with elastic bands, with cards saying 'so and so's best stew', torn mag recipes, scraps of this and that type thing) and nearly bowled him over trying to get it out of his hand. He just didn't get it, but I knew that oatmeal/date recipe, the JOhnny cake, the bran muffins, and a few other things were in there and there is just no finding those same old favourites in cook books now. I'm glad he didn't care because it meant sticking them with my pile was no fight.
I'll have to try and make them some day. Not much of a baker but it might be worth having a taste of those again.
Thank-You DBD. :applaud: I have used the dry onion soup mix and it works great.
This is a date turnover recipe that I made up myself.I took a gramma oatmeal recipe from an old 5 roses cookbook and tweaked it along with the date filling.
I have made this many,many times and it is so easy and delicious if you like date turnovers that is. :)
