I swear there is one question that follows me around no matter how tired I am.
What’s for dinner?
And listen…some days I know.
Other days I am standing in front of the fridge staring inside like dinner is going to jump out and say, “Don’t worry, Marissa. I got this.” 😂
Because why does everybody need to eat EVERY day?
Didn’t we just do this yesterday?
And I know I cannot be the only person who has had one of those days where you’re tired, you’ve been doing a million things, your brain has basically clocked out for the evening…and then you remember:
Oh.
Right.
Dinner. 😭😂
And that is really where the idea for this little cookbook came from.
I didn’t want fancy recipes.
I didn’t want recipes where I have to go looking for 17 ingredients I don’t already have, buy something I’m probably never going to use again, and then stand in the kitchen for two hours pretending I’m enjoying myself.
No ma’am. 😂
I wanted easy.
I wanted meals where I could look at the recipe and say, “Okay. I can do that.”
And I figured there had to be other tired people out there who felt exactly the same way.
So I created 25 Easy Dinners for When You’re Tired but Everyone Still Needs to Eat.
Yes. That is the actual name.
And yes. I know it is long. 😂
But honestly, it says exactly what I needed it to say.
This is not a fancy cookbook.
It is a please just help me figure out what to make for dinner cookbook. 😂
There are 25 dinner ideas inside, with pasta, one-pan meals, simple comfort foods, some fresh and feel-good options, and of course some good old comfort-food-easy-mode meals.
Basically, I wanted there to be something for the nights when you have a little energy…and something for the nights when you absolutely do NOT. 😂
Because I think sometimes we put so much pressure on ourselves when it comes to meals.
Everything doesn't have to be Pinterest perfect.
Some nights you make the beautiful dinner.
Some nights you make the easy dinner.
And some nights the biggest accomplishment is that everybody got fed.
That counts too. ❤️
So if you have ever opened your fridge, stared inside for way too long and thought:
I have absolutely NO idea what I’m making tonight…
I made this for you.
My little cookbook is $7.99 USD, and it gives you 25 dinner ideas for those days when your brain simply does not feel like answering the “What’s for dinner?” question anymore.
Because sometimes we don't need another complicated recipe.
We just need somebody to give us an idea so we can make the food, feed everybody and SIT DOWN. 😂❤️
25 Easy Dinners for When You’re Tired but Everyone Still Needs to Eat is available now.
And if it saves you from staring into your fridge waiting for the chicken to come up with a plan…
Then I have done my job. 😂
