Sometimes, deciding what to cook for dinner is half the battle!
I used to spend 15-20 minutes at 5-pm, madly Googling recipes, trying to figure out what to make with what I had in the fridge. It was stressful, and often ended up taking me so much longer to cook than it would have otherwise.
These days, I take those 15-20 minutes and spend them at the start of the week, writing down our meals for the week.
Even if you don’t prep your meals ahead, having a meal plan in place is an easy way to get organized in the kitchen!
