Can we talk about outsourcing for a minute?
I hate meal planning with every fiber of my being. There. I said it. I wish I didn’t hate meal planning so much, but I just….do. Every Sunday afternoon we go to Trader Joe’s and grocery shop for the week. I get the same staples: bread, cheese, chocolate, etc. I throw in a few items just in case I feel inspired—meat, a single red pepper, some cilantro. Surely I can make something with cilantro? I always assume that if I have food in my kitchen, I can whip up a few meals during the week.
But I never have the right ingredients to make…..anything substantial. I remember the pasta, but forget the pasta sauce. I remember the chicken and limes, but forget the tortillas. Basically, I am super unorganized when it comes to grocery shopping and I am too lazy/exhausted to drag my two children to the store again during the witching hour. Mommas, you feel me?
(Also, this is why sometimes we eat scrambled eggs for dinner.)
