Have you ever experienced a mental block went it came to making dinner?

Until recently, if you’d asked me about dinner ideas I would have said that never happened to me.

That’s a sign that you need to search the interwebs and get out of a rut.

And that will give you the magic bullet to blast through your meal time mental block.

But I was STUCK and I didn’t see how the world wide web was going to solve my dilemma.

I know the subject well. Meal planning that is. I have a multitude of cook books and I DVR many cooking shows throughout the week just to always have something new to try. I can rattle off several dishes to make out of one piece of protein easily. But this time around I got locked up. Nothing. My mind was blank. I was pretty much out of ideas.

So what the heck was going on here?

Luckily,one or two search terms on Pinterest did the trick for me. I discovered these tasty and oh-so-cheap dinner ideas. I’ve spotted what I think will be your most treasured recipes. Check them out below.
