Trouble in the Kitchen

Anyone else have this problem? I will be the first one to say I am 39 years old and I DON'T KNOW HOW TO COOK! Which has also helped to this weight gain....my husband works nights (he cooks) and that leaves me with the kids to feed. It is just so much easier to go out to eat or pick up fast food. Not only is it expensive but it is fattening!

So this is my delima if I want to lose weight I have to stop being afraid of the kitchen and also start learning my way around the kitchen.

What do you guys make for dinner? Where do you get idea's recipes? Do you plan out your meals for the week? Also do you have two picky children that you are trying to cook for? What are you easy meals you make?

I thought we could help each other out with this.....

Any help would be so much appreciated!!!!

Hope you are all having a good day :)
