The Final Crazy Dinner Night… For Now
Not My Favorite Dinner, But It Was Healthy and Homemade
Today was the last night in our crazy week of dinner on the run. Tonight I prepared a pasta salad before we headed to the soccer field for Louisa’s dinnertime game. When we got home after the game I tossed together the pasta, arugula, toppings and dressing. It took about two minutes.
So what did I learn? Simple – it’s still possible to eat home cooked meals no matter how crazy your schedule is – if you’re really motivated. It takes extra planning, it requires cooking and preparing hours before you plan to eat. And, for me, it requires compromising on my meal preferences. I don’t love cold dinners, but it’s certainly one way to have food waiting when you walk in the door.
I certainly understand why so many families succumb to the drive-through if they’re involved in work and after school activities. But I like the drive-through even less than I like cold dinners. So it’s possible, but I wouldn’t choose this as my regular lifestyle, if given a choice.
