I agree; the problem is that people seem to think it's impossible to cook a real meal in the evening. It's not. Tonight I'm oven-roasting salmon, making a vegetable to go with it, and tossing a green salad. That's going to take about twenty minutes, although I will stretch it to at least half an hour, since I like to have a glass of wine while I'm cooking and catch up with my husband at the end of the day.
Home cooking need not seem like a lost art from a lost time, if people don't let it go that way.
Yum! What time is dinner?
I'm a SAHM of 3 homeschoolers. It's been hard for me to juggle everything in our house. I found this cookbook and it has done wonders for our family! For anyone interested, check out this site!

It takes the guesswork out of "what's for dinner?" but allows for family favorites, too.
We've made lots of sacrifices so that I could be home with the kids. We only have one car and live in a small house. We don't have any credit cards and some people may think our kids don't have enough opportunities. They do have a wonderful, loving home life! I wouldn't change it for the world.
