I Can Cook, Yet Sometimes I Can't

I have been told by a few more people than my self that I can cook, and I can cook well. Lately, though, I have found it very difficult to come up with dinner at a moment's notice, or when time is short to have a meal ready.

Granted, my culinary specialty is “comfort food”, and that slice of cuisine is definitely off the menu these days (Wifey and I on a diet). But I would think I could come up with SOMETHING in a pinch that is diet-friendly. I used to. With the diet, Wifey and I are buying much fewer grocery items. Perhaps I am intimidated by the lack of ingredients to choose from? Perhaps I am intimated by the questionable meat products that would require lengthy defrosting times to get a meal put together? I don't know. What I DO know is my wife is coming home from puppy school shortly, and I have yet to come up with a decent meal for the two of us, and I hate the idea of asking her to just “pick something up” on the way home, or to repeat the go-to meals we've been having – heating up hot dogs (leftover social gathering foodstuffs).

Such a conundrum...
