About Sunday Dinner

I must confess that one of the first things that crosses my mind when I wake in the morning is what I am going to eat that day.....and so begins my daily preoccupation with food.

Unfortunately, my day job does not give me much opportunity to express myself culinarily or time to enjoy a good meal. And so I find myself compelled to relieve a week's worth of pent-up food preoccupation on my weekends. This predicament has led to a healthy obssession with Sunday dinners.

Now I do not mean to imply that Sunday dinners at my house are super-elaborate, fussy or time-intensive (I do have a 10-month old). I just try to put a bit more thought and planning into making our Sunday dinners relatively "special." After all, Sunday evening is family time. So at my house Sunday dinner must feel like a real meal with animal protein, starches and something green. And when I'm really good I can morph Sunday dinner leftovers into an interesting weekday dinner.

I am blogging to share my Sunday dinner triumphs (and disasters) with fellow foodies and friends of mine who regularly call on me for recipe suggestions. I am envisioning this blog as a virtual Sunday dinner club where I'll share what I'm eating, along with recipes, cooking tips and restaurant suggestions (for those "eating out" Sunday dinners). I hope you'll share the same with me and other followers of this blog -- with the ultimate goal of better cooking and eating all around.
