A lot of Americans don't cook well. They have a lot of other things to do. Often they don't have time to think about home cooking. Often it's not a matter of cooking itself, but rather of coming up with dinner ideas for quick, healthy, inexpensive meals for the whole family. People who have trouble with this, however, must not be paying much attention. With the Internet, cooking shows, and food demonstrations daily at supermarkets, it's easier than ever to plan a whole week of meals. Now for some excellent dinner ideas.

Corn dogs are an all American tradition, usually served at state fairs and by street vendors. While a little on the unhealthy side, it's quick and good to eat. Make a batter with some flour, corn meal, salt, sugar and baking powder mixed with milk, dip the hot dogs and then deep fry them until the batter is golden brown. If you want the feel of the fair, insert a popsicle stick.

Way back when, in colonial times, dinner was a lighter snack followed by supper later in the day. Social status and job type dictated changes in this over time. Physical laborers needed an afternoon dinner to keep up their strength throughout the grueling day. As times change and we move away from regular meals at home, dinner has become the anchor that keeps families together and signals the end of the out of the home portion of the day and the beginning of at home leisure time. But supper and dinner have become intertwined, often interchanged in meaning this big meal. That doesn't mean the meal has to be large, especially for people watching their waist lines. Go more the dinner way with a lighter meal.

Crock pots were made for busy schedules. Set it, forget it, then return home to a well cooked meal. The crock pot can handle the entire meal. Add some meat and some potatoes cut into quarters for a terrific pot roast. Serve it with a fresh baked loaf of bread picked up on the way home from the local supermarket. Or, skip the bread to avoid the extra calories.

It's not that hard to cook well, for example grilled steak and baked potatoes. Use Google to find more great dinner ideas. The Internet has more than you can handle.
