"I don&amp;#039;t see the point of parsley. Not as part of a recipe, but as a garnish. When I buy food for dinner and don&amp;#039;t realize until I&amp;#039;m mid-way through cooking it that the parsley I picked out is just for show, I get annoyed, which, in turn, annoys my husband. He loves cooking so much, he watches The Food Network like other men watch ESPN. He spends hours on Sunday preparing delectable dishes that we all enjoy. We truly do. Just don&amp;#039;t expect me to get as excited about the prep part. I&amp;#039;m a utilitarian cook - I cook because I have to. I&amp;#039;ve got the weeknight dinners and he&amp;#039;s got the weekends. So you can imagine how my blas\u00E9 attitude about all things cuisine crushes my husband&amp;#039;s soul. But I try not to let my lack of enthusiasm toward cooking seep into our meals. Night after weeknight of meatloaf would surely put a strain on our marriage, so I try to put in a little effort. To find meals with the taste and pizzazz my husband longs for, yet the simplicity I need, I check out these web sites: All Recipes (http://allrecipes.com/Recipes/Everyday-Cooking/Family-Favorites/Main.aspx) The best of this cooking web site is the &amp;quot;Dinner in an Instant&amp;quot; page. That&amp;#039;s my favorite kind of dinner. Here, you&amp;#039;ll find 20-, 30- and 45-minute meals that your kids will actually want to eat, such as Mexican Casserole and Sicilian Spaghetti. Regular folks (i.e. people without their own cooking shows) rate each recipe and offer their own reviews, tips and ideas. There&amp;#039;s even a helpful calculator that reconfigures the recipe to the number of people you&amp;#039;re cooking for. Rachel Ray (http://www.rachaelray.com/food.php) I credit Rachel Ray for spicing up my marriage. If it weren&amp;#039;t for her, I&amp;#039;d never have discovered &amp;quot;Messy Giuseppes,&amp;quot; Rachel&amp;#039;s Italian-style Sloppy Joes that make my husband say &amp;quot;Mmmmmm&amp;quot; whenever I cook them. On the Food section of her daytime TV show&amp;#039;s web site, you&amp;#039;ll find tasty, yet quick recipes for all sorts of meals, including her &amp;quot;Yum-o&amp;quot; favorites for kids. Best of all, she adds new recipes every week, so you won&amp;#039;t get stuck in a rut when it comes to cooking dinner for the family. Good Housekeeping (http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/recipefinder/) I don&amp;#039;t have to go far to find good recipes. I just pop over to the Recipes and Entertaining section of GoodHouskeeping.com where I can find Easy Chicken Recipes, Fabulous Finger Foods, Healthy Recipes and more. You can search by recipe name, ingredient or key word, which comes in handy when you&amp;#039;ve got nothing but chicken, sour cream and some spices in your kitchen. There are even cooking videos if you feel like watching someone else cook while picking up great cooking tips. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
