As much as I love food and cooking, sometimes I'm at a complete loss for what to prepare for dinner. Ever had that feeling? It usually happens on a day where I didn't shower until after lunch, gave my children anything they wanted to keep everyone happy, and then realized I had an hour until dinner. On days like those, I usually make something like this:
I open my fridge/freezer, piece together 4-5 items and call it dinner. And actually, it turns out to be one of my favorite meals of the week. I have this obsession with variety. I like having as much food on hand as possible. What if my husband is craving cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting? Or what if I want chicken tacos with all the flavorful toppings? See...it's important I have all those ingredients on hand.
You should try it. Don't stress about having a recipe followed, menu planned meal. Make dinner in an hour with random food from your kitchen. It's actually really fun...
