Intro

Oh hi! So this is what's going to happen.. I'm starting this "What's for dinner tonight" Blog because I think it will be a great way to share my recipes and keep them to reference back to. Also, when I'm in a pickle.... Mmm pickles...ANYWAYS! When I can't think of anything to make I can get ideas from here.. If anyone ever has any ideas of what I should make leave me a comment! Let me know if you decide to make any of them as well!!

p.s It's not going to be a every night thing, simply because I work nights sometimes. So check back often. OFTEN!!!
