Hmmm...What to Eat....???

I'm taking a poll. I want to know if anyone else out there has the problems I have with meal time. First of all, I'd like to start by saying that I aspire to be the perfect homemaker, wife, mother, lover, etc. However...I am far from it. I like to think I'm domestic. I clean the house, take care of the kids, grocery shop, do laundry, yada yada yada. But I want to be the perfect little domestic woman, and every day I get stumped by one thing...you ready? Dun dun duh....Dinner. I know, anticlimactic, isn't it? My biggest problem is figuring out what to make. Can anyone out there relate? No, you all probably have this down to an art. I've been married four years and I still can't figure out what to make for dinner. Pretty pathetic. But it doesn't stop there. I also struggle with having preparation time and timing my preparation so it's not during Bugga's feeding or Bugga's bed time. And then there's the clean up! Oh but that's a whole different story. When preparation, eating, and clean up are done...I want to kill myself...but I'm too exhausted by then. :) So, let's address the first problem - what to eat? I spent 20 minutes tonight surfing different recipe websites, trying to find something quick, easy, and meatless. My goodness, there's hardly anything out there that's meatless!! What do all you vegetarians eat?? I finally gave up and made tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches...hardly your health fest, but dinner nonetheless. I was quite proud of myself for whipping out even that. I get pretty ashamed of myself when I think about the women who crossed the plains during the pioneer era. They made breakfast, lunch, and dinner for their families. And they were life-sustaining meals! I can't even get dinner for my family, and I know it's important not just for the meal, but also for the "together time." Sometimes I resent food when it takes up too much of my time, but the amount of time I spend on food doesn't even come close to the day-long rituals followed by pioneer women. They planted their food, cultivated their food, harvested their food, prepared their food, cooked their food, ate their food (probably the best part of the whole process), and cleaned up after their food...only to start all over again for the next meal. Again, I'm ashamed. :) So, I want to know what you all do. I'm sure you're all way ahead of me on the road to domestic perfection. So, come on, let's hear it! I need all the help and ideas I can get! Calling all domestic goddesses....
