Winter meal blues

On weeknights our meals have been getting pretty sad of late. Hubby and I are usually so tired by the time we get home that neither of us feel like cooking. So we either throw something easy (and boring) together or we order take-out (which is also getting boring). For some reason everything - including cooking - takes so much more effort in the winter.

Our meals improve drastically on the weekend. Hubby usually works his magic and creates some culinary masterpieces that put our weeknight meals to shame. And, if we're lucky, there are a few leftovers for Monday (the worst cooking night of the week).

Today the little guy and I went to the market and bought all of the fixings for a homemade guiness stew. It's simple to make and nothing hits the spot better on a cold January night. Just as we arrived home, our neighbour stopped by with a homemade lasagna (a thank-you gift for house sitting). Add that to the big pot of leftover curry in the fridge and we're off to a good food week! Finally, a little relief for the winter meal blues.
