Getting Bored With The Usual

I am quite creative in the kitchen, but I feel like lately I have been stuck on some tried and trues. Time for me to break out my old cookbooks and cooking magazines I have kept over the years and make some 'out of the box' things.
Do you ever fall into a cooking trap like that where you just get a little bored with it and do the usual?

lol. Well, that does sort of solve things I guess. For whatever reason it reminds me of an old joke by Milton Berle if I remember right. "Someone asked me once the secret to the longevity of our marriage. We go out twice a week for dinner. She goes on Tuesdays and I go on Thursdays."

@DianneN It's funny to me when I think of comedians, how many back in the day were funny. Berle, Groucho Marx, Henny Youngman, Gallagher, Don Rickles, John Carlin, and how so few comedians today are funny at all. Does that just make me old?

Yeah and then I will something amazing from a food video and I will go make it, I'm not the best cook but I do try.

Me either, but all we can do is try. At least my wife thinks I am the best cook. She is always telling me, especially when we go out, when I ask her how her food is, "Not as good as yours but it is okay." Makes me smile every time even if I think sometimes she is just buttering me up.

@porwest That's sweet, my husband is the main cook as well but here lately he hasn't been able to stand long or he is in to much pain.

I annot eat the same thing every day. And I´m eating less food but more gourmet. Online recipes help a lot to give ideas.

I do find that I cook the same things often. I like to get creative, but sometimes that's a mistake.

No - because Vince does most of the cooking. Luckily he hasn't got bored with it yet.

I am always going through my huge cookbook collection and pulling out recipes to make so I don't normally fall into a rut. The only time things get repetitive and boring is when I'm really being strict with my diet. Then it is grilled steak/chicken, steamed veggies, and either rice or a potato on the days that I work out. That gets old fast.
