What This Blog Is About

This is a blog made by a real wife who cooks real meals for a real husband who works long shifts at a real job. In other words, most of these dinners are not super-low-calorie, nor are they always uber-healthy. They're meant to fill a hard-working, hungry guy's belly, and keep him full for 12-hour shifts, so he needs more than "rabbit food" to sustain him. That said, I do try to avoid foods that are terribly bad, and I try to make sure he gets a reasonably-balanced meal without breaking the bank. These dinners generally serve 3-4 people each ... or dinner and a leftover-lunch for one hungry husband.

The above link is similar to the first one, and is by the same person, but I haven't tried it yet.

The above link is really good, and has a ,PDF file with the grocery lists and recipes that you can download and print.  I haven't tried any of the recipes yet, but they sound good.
