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.

  1. Yummie indeed. One could only hope being invited one day, one fine Sunday that would be... might even cure my long hate of Sundays...

  2. You have interesting taste....When I lay my head down to sleep at night my thoughts linger on what I am going to eat the following day. Seems we have some similarities. DC
