Cooking After Disney About This Page:

[Diz]

Post trip is such a bummer. I'm sitting here wondering what I'm going to cook for dinner. We have none of our favorites in the fridge...salad, cheese 'n pepperoni...very little in the freezer...some hamburg, some chicken thighs.

Where's all that delicious food from L'Orginale...CRT...and around the world???

Do I really have to cook after just getting home from WDW???

I guess I do...any quick hamburg suggestions?

[my2girls]

I don't like to cook on a daily basis, let alone after a Disney trip - I feel your pain.

I like to make Taco casserole - hamburger, taco shells or taco chips, salsa, cheese. - cook hamburger, add salsa, layer in a pan with chips & cheese. Bake for 20 mins at 350 -

That's probably what I missed the most from our vacation when we got back home..... NOT having to cook!! I cook complete meals every day of the week, unless we're having left overs. We never go out to eat or order out, unless it's my birthday or our anniversary.
We like to have hamburger gravy over mashed potatoes. Just brown your meat, add a jar of beef gravy, and serve it over your potatoes. Add a veggie, and your're done!

When people tell me they are staying somewhere with a kitchen while vacationing at Disney so they can make their own meals I go into shock! The food is one of the best parts!!! I hate to cook so I am excited about the break from cooking when we go on vacation!

Wow Cindy!! I could not survive if I had to cook every meal! Friday nights are pizza nights for DSs and Chipotle nights for DH and I, DSs get McDonalds on Saturdays for lunch, and once every two weeks we go out to eat at a restaurant for dinner. DS#2 and I usually eat lunch out on Thursdays during the school year (Panera, Ruby Tuesdays, the mall, etc...).

Believe me Cheryl, I don't like to cook! But DH is a very picky eater who grew up eating "simple" foods and made from scratch baked goods every day that his Mother made. She was raised on a farm and is an excellent cook. I'm nowhere near as good a cook as she is and at least I've gotten DH over the years to try a few new things, but he really doesn't like restaurant food, especially fast food or pizza, so it's a real treat for me to go on vacation and have somebody else do the cooking.

Hey Cindy, does hubby cook? I wouldn't go out to eat either if someone else did all the cooking for me!

The best part about going on vacation is that I don't have to decide "what to have for dinner" and then have to cook it! I love to cook, but I love the break, too!

My DH would love to be married to you! He does not like to eat out and would prefer my cooking every day of the week. We rarely go out to eat unless we are on vacaiton or out of town for business; however, we do order pizza and pizza steaks in.

DH has turned DS#1 into a carbon copy of him. He hates to eat out and always chooses to eat in even on his birthday. Every birthday he's had homemade lasagna since he was old enough to ask for it!

Thanks for the quick recipe! It really is easy and delicious!

The only cooking DH does is grilling, which I absolutely refuse to do, so I do get a little break during the warmer months, but I still make the sides to go along. My DH works extremely hard, and since I'm no longer working outside the house, I'd feel really guilty asking him to cook. We've been married for almost 23 years, so it's pretty much routine now. I swear I buy the same groceries every week!

It's always been a weird little fantasy of mine to switch grocery carts with some poor unsuspecting person in the check-out line, just to get some variety in our weekly menus! Very strange, I know.
