31 Days To Better Domestic Service: Pre-Planning For Quick and Easy, Last Minute and “I Don’t Know What To Cook” Days
Some days I just don’t know what to cook. Even if I’ve made a meal plan, I sometimes don’t feel like fixing it or I forgot to thaw the protein. So, my go to are pantry dinners. These are dinners that you can whip together with the ingredients you always have on hand. The ingredients often have long shelf lives so you can have them ready for just these occasions.
