As you know for the month of April I've challenged myself to not eat any dinners out. Does this mean I'm magically going to have time to provide beautiful homemade meals for my family? Of course not. Life isn't going to slow down just because I've decided to challenge myself to do just that. What it does mean is that on a really busy day we may be eating cereal for dinner and there's no shame in that game.
This is not going to be organic, low fat, low carb, keto, vegan or gluten free. It is going to be an assortment of easy meals, many from packaged ingredients and hopefully a decent assortment of meals that you can create from frozen meat when you've forgotten to defrost or forgotten to plan all together.
Do not be alarmed, I love to create wholesome, balanced meals for my family and don't usually use so many boxed or packaged ingredients, but for this month you may be seeing a lot of these. It's not the norm and I'm not even suggesting that you follow along. But maybe, just maybe, when you've worked all day followed by a kid's sporting event and still want to cook dinner you can come here for some quick ideas.
Later this week I'll be posting some items that I think of as staples. When I say staples I'm not talking about sugar and flour. In this instance I'm talking about shelf stable proteins, and items that come from the freezer and either defrost quickly or can be prepared from a frozen state.
