Are you adventurous when it comes to food? I am. Love experimenting new foods, trying new recipes or simply dream up some as I go. Unfortunately that is not so great when you have to feed a family. Especially one that consists of picky eaters.

Every single item on my menu this week is a brand new dish. Probably not a good idea in hindsight. On Monday, we had Easy Italian Stew. I knew my family is not big on Italian dishes but thought why not try. It tasted OK and I actually enjoyed it but they didn’t.

Tuesday, we had Slow cooker orange chicken which was really a gamble. The ingredients itself which indluded barbecue sauce and marmalade was evidence it was a gamble but I thought maybe it would be like sweet/sour chicken. But it was not. I was not awfully taken by the recipe but it wasn’t something I would not eat either.

So… today I am going to depart from my planned menu. We’re going for a ‘good old fashioned’ cheeseburger dinner tonight.
