Cooking Dinner

I could, quite possibly, be the worst cook in the state of Pennsylvania.  Maybe even the whole east coast.  I bought some ground beef last week at the store and earlier this week I decided I would thaw it out and make some burgers with half and then make a meat loaf with the rest.  It ended up being the perfect amount of meat for these two meals, but the way I prepared it was... just bad!

Not thinking, I used my grandmother's recipe for meatballs/meatloaf for the burgers.  Just before putting them on the grill I realized that burgers should be kind of a different consistency than meatloaf and I probably should have done something different.  Well, I put them on the grill anyway and when I went to flip them, they fell apart.  I was able to salvage them and keep them together enough to put them on buns and we ate them for dinner.  While they were cooking, I prepared the meatloaf in a pan with cheese in the middle!  I did this once before but I cut up blocks of cheese and mixed it in the meat, and that didn't turn out so well, so I knew I should tuck all the cheese in the middle of the meat and make sure it was all covered up so it didn't seep out.  I put it in the fridge, went up to the Pocono's for two days and then threw it in the oven tonight for dinner.  It still seeped out all over.. I made some box potatoes and heated up some corn in the microwave and we ate it.  Maybe that's just how its supposed to be!

The other thing about cooking (mainly dinner) is that I NEVER know what to cook, and my husband is no help!  When I ask what he wants for dinner, his answer is always "what ever you want" or "I don't care!"  It drives me batty!

My sister was talking about preparing meals for a month, and I guess freezing it.  I think I may look into this.. Anyone have any experience with this?

Its never pretty, and sometimes it ends up inedible but we make it work!
