A meal I make…(when I don’t feel like cooking) ;)
Friends, do you ever get tired of trying to figure out what to fix for dinner? Oh! You plan out all of your meals and buy the ingredients ahead of time? Uh, yeah…so do I. But those good intentions usually last about two weeks, then I am back to my old habits again. Someday, I will be a meal planner and follow through. Someday.
