Need some cooking advice please, feeling very embarassed

[veryembarassedbythis]

Am so embarassed by this i have name changed Would really appreciate some advice and ideas please if anyone has any to share

Growing up i was given a rather limited diet as my dad was a limited cook and rarely cooked with anything but mince beef! And consequently i have NO idea what to cook apart from these meals. Feel like a failure atm.

Meals we eat in the evening:

Shepard's pie
Moousaka
spag bol
roast dinner
sausage, mash and beans

Would really love some meal ideas. What do you cook for your family, would love any ideas to make our diet much more varied.
thank-you

thanks for all your help everyone, you have all given me lots of ideas and books to try.

Tonight we are having:

Chicken breasts, home made wedges and carrots.

Tomorrow am planning to make:

Home made burgers with home made chips cooked in fry lite with salad.

Is this okay to start off with do you think?

those sound like good meals to start with. you'll have the hang of it in no time.

Sounds great to me. Hope you all enjoy it

Didn't do the home made burgers, did home made chicken nuggets and chips with carrots. Put a picture in my gallery, not sure if it showed up though!!

Try deliaonline

Looks good to me - how did it go down with everyone? (We have those IKEA plates too - I think it must be the law to own them!)

They all loved it which was good. Ds has requested to have it again

I think you're right on the Ikea plates too, wherever we go anyone with children seems to have them!

try the recipe section on mn, its got some really easy recipes that are fab. im not confident but theyve really helped me.
