A very easy and budget-friendly dinner option. I thought about titling this “quick & cheap,” but greens have such a reputation to uphold these days! Any variation featuring this...
You know those weeks when you are adrift in the meal-planning doldrums? When it just seems so far out and unimaginable that people actually make dinner every night? Asking yourself: What do people eat?? Wait, I’m a person, I should know this one… I have those weeks, but thankfully this isn’t one of them!...
