Figuring out what to feed our small family, remembering to put the ingredients on the shopping list so that my husband can get them during his weekly shopping trip and finding time to cook is a constant struggle for me. I feel a bit like a whimp here because it’s just my husband, our four year-old daughter, and me, but the truth remains: Cooking is something that makes my work-life juggle more difficult.

So I thought we should kick off a new weekly feature here on Problem Solved called "What’s for dinner?" Monday. Every Monday we’ll post some links to quick and easy recipes from our favorite blogs and cooking sites, with the hopes of making the cooking part of your work-life juggle just a bit easier. If you have favorite easy recipes you’d like to share, please link to them in the comments, and if you write a recipe blog, please link to it as well so that we can keep expanding our collection to link to.

Here goes this week’s edition of "What’s for dinner?" Monday :

Simply Recipes : Quick beef stir-fry with bell peppers . I — along with millions of others — simply adore the recipes and photos that Elise posts on her blog and have yet to make something from there that didn’t taste great.

Picky Palate : Gourmet mac & cheese . Anything with pasta goes over well in our house and I’m always looking for ways to change it up. This is an easy and inexpensive recipe, just in time for the tumbling economy.

A Year of Crockpotting : Crockpot pizza soup . I love my crockpot but my family is tired of the same 4 things I make in it. I am going to try this recipe this week.

my recipes : Oatmeal crusted chicken tenders . These are light, quick, cheap and something my daughter may eat without endless complaining.

What are you cooking this week?
