Let’s talk about those “oh sh*t it’s 5:30” weeknight dinners.
You know the ones.
You look at the clock, everyone’s hangry, and suddenly you realize the dinner plan is… there is no plan. 😳
Some weeks I’m on my A-game. I meal plan, grocery shop, prep on the weekend, and things run smoothly.
But this post is about the other weeks.
The ones where Monday hits and you’re just trying to get dinner on the table.
Here are a few things that usually save me on those nights:
1. Default to “protein + carb + something green.”
I stop trying to be creative and instead just try to check these 3 boxes.
2. Check the freezer + pantry.
Between frozen meat, frozen veggies, quick rice, and canned beans - I can usually find something to check all the boxes.
PRO TIP ➡️ I am obsessed with using sauces to spice things up!! Buffalo, teriyaki, BBQ, salad dressings - these can all turn basic ingredients into a quick meal that seems fancier than it is.
4. Ask ChatGPT.
Sometimes I literally tell it a few things I have:
“I have ground beef, mushrooms, spinach and rice… what can I make in 10 minutes?”
And it comes to the rescue every time!
I hope these help - soon I’ll share what dinner looks like when I do manage to plan ahead. (Spoiler - I keep it quite simple then too.)🧑🍳
P.S. have any other hacks that save your bacon on those stressful nights? Please share below!
🍜 5-MINUTE BONE BROTH 🍜
A few weeks ago, I shared 6 ways to use rotisserie chicken. But my favorite? Turning the leftover bones into bone broth!
It’s cozy (especially with this cooler weather), nourishing, and packed with nutrients:
💛 Collagen for joints, skin, and hair
💛 Minerals for bone & immune support
💛 Amino acids for digestion & wellness
And the best part? You probably already have everything in your pantry.
How I make it:
1️⃣ Put leftover bones in a pot, cover with filtered water
2️⃣ Add: garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric, salt, ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
3️⃣ Bring to boil, stir
4️⃣ Cover & simmer 4–8 hours
Especially as the weather cools, this is my go-to whenever anyone in our house starts feeling a tickle in their throat. 🩵
