Dinners

One of the reasons that I decided to start looking for new recipes is because I honestly don't know much about cooking. I'm a pretty simple person and I don't like thinks to be too complicated for me. This summer is the first time I am living on my own in an apartment (I was in the dorms last semester) so I'm kind of a newbie at cooking every day for myself. At first all of my meals were like this:

Literally, chicken breast, salad, raspberries, milk, and maybe some pasta or mac&cheese. Every day.

The closest I really got to changing that was this:

More chicken, more pasta, but now with pasta sauce. I was so lost with making dinner. The thing is, I helped my mom alot in the kitchen in high school so I /should/ be able to know how to cook pretty well, but honestly I was a little too lazy to buy all the ingredients required for most of her recipes.

So I moved on to a couple more interesting meals like this:

Perogies, which I love, stir-fried with chicken and broccoli. Still not very interesting.

I tried stir fried rice, but it's still the same basic concept. Yesterday I tried to spice it up a little by making this:

It's a whole wheat tortilla wrap with ground turkey, brown rice, homemade guacamole (pretty healthy, I used to make it alot with my mom) and some spinach. I added vanilla yogurt and fruit to give myself a sweet dessert.

So obviously, I need some help finding some more interesting dinners. I like eating simple like this, but it gets a little boring.

So I'm going to start small with recipes and interesting snacks and breakfast foods and then move on to lunches and dinners if I can. :)
