We are Back to School and I can’t say I’m disappointed to be
back into a routine. But do you ever
just not mentally plan dinner and before you know its 5:30? Here are a few hints:
- Throw some butter in a skillet and add some chopped garlic & onions. Anyone who comes home will get a whiff and think you’ve begun a well-planned meal. Then you can defrost some meat in the microwave and try to pull something together.
- Have a young child prepare “cheese toast” or “garlic bread.” Even though it’s a fatty, not very healthful side dish, no one will complain because they will need to praise the little one’s cooking talents. (Last night I had steaks, beet greens/bok choy and….what else? …. Oh, yes, “little one, come here, you get to make CHEESE TOAST!”
- Keep jarred pickles, beets, olives, etc. on hand. When your dinner is lacking and/or not very colorful, pick one of these items and pour into a small glass bowl. Oh, now the table looks so pretty!
Please comment below and add your own helpful hints for
pulling together dinner in a jiffy without caving and ordering pizza.
