What’s for dinner!? Ahhhhh, that dreadful question that follows us around on a daily basis! Let’s face it! WE ALL WANT TO MAKE LIFE EASIER! If you’re a busy mom like me and are constantly running the roads between taking kids back and forth to school, baseball, cheer practices/games, all while maintaining a full-time job, then you know EXACTLY what I’m talking about! Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE TO COOK and it’s one of my passions but sometimes when I’ve been working all day long and not getting in until late at night, I just want to kick my shoes off and fall into bed! Although that sounds AMAZING on most nights, at the end of the day, I’m still a mom and I have responsibilities and obligations to tend to. As parents, we all want to do what’s best for our kids. We want them to be healthy! My kids would love to have a full course meal on a daily basis if they could have it. Heck, I guess I would too if I had someone to cook for me (can you deliver that on a silver platter too please while you’re at it?!) but on most days, that’s just not the case! It seems like the older your kids get, the less time you have to figure out dinner; then you’re spending money on crap like fast food, dining out, or telling the kids it’s fend for yourself night. I have an 11-year-old boy that HATES “fend for yourself” nights. Dear baby Jesus, if he has to make it himself, he’d rather starve!
