The answer to the hardest question of your day...

What's for dinner? You've worked hard all day. But here comes 5pm and you're all out of decision power and motivation and you're hungry and you may have other hungry people looking and pressuring you to deliver...fast.

You then have a choice.

1-You can hit a restaurant, but restaurants can be expensive for any sort of decent food. (I don't count fast food as food. If that makes me a food snob, I'll proudly wear that badge.)

2. You can go with Taco Tuesday on a Thursday. Who cares if you have tacos twice in one week? Or the go to.. spaghetti. There's other fast stuff like sandwiches and Lord forbid...cereal. (I used to eat cereal for dinner in college more than I'd like to admit)

3. Take an inordinate amount of time to prepare a meal at 5:30 when you get home that you get to sit down to at 8:30pm because you are doing other chores while cooking and then hopefully digest it before you go to bed at 10.

Or you can go with option 4.

I just found this option a few weeks ago and the few weeks we have done it as a family has been nothing short of amazing. I got a book from Cassy Joy Garcia called Cook Once, Eat All Week and it is genius... and healthy... win-win. The concept is really cool. You meal prep in one day for 3 future dinners. You can tell she and her team have put an enormous amount of thought into this concept and book. She gives you an ingredient list and tells you all the steps you'll need to do ahead of time. You have a prep day. It was going to be a deal breaker for me if I had to meal prep on Sunday afternoon for 3 hours, but I didn't. It took me about an hour and I wasn't really hustling and even got distracted with NASCAR. Once everything is prepped all you have to do is pull out the prepped ingredients from the fridge the day you want them, put all the pieces of the recipe together and then cook it on the stove top or oven in less than 30 minutes. You get variety with tasty, healthy food, in a short amount of time during the work week. She also includes ways you can modify the recipe if you have food allergies. You need this book. You deserve this book. You can get it on Amazon or Barnes and Nobles. The link above is to Amazon. This is a game changer.

One might say..."It's what's for dinner."😉😊🤷‍♀️
