840 pm. Tired. Hungry. Maybe even cranky? The kids are away on spring break …it’s dark and eerily quiet. The only sound is the dogs pushing their bowls towards me, indignant at the time of my arrival.
You’ve been there, right? We all have. Walking in later than we wanted to, and met by by the job requirements of your home, kids & pets! Great nutrition can be quick & easy! Make it living room dinner night ….DISREGARD if you have kids AND carpet in your living room –– let everyone sit and put their feet up, grab a board game and eat a meal made in 5 mins! (You can clean up what they drop tomorrow… Or better yet, let the dog in to help with after dinner clean up!
Roll up some cold cuts if you have meat eaters, slice some fruit, open a box of crackers and slice some cheese. Serve on a platter or individual plates and garnish with a piece of dark chocolate….remember dark chocolate reduces stress, lowers blood pressure & yummmmmm. Save the stress for something that warrants it. Making dinner should not be one of them. Deep breath in…..bite of chocolate….repeat… Make it a great night!
Dinner for 2… Better watch your plate, or that chocolate will be mine
