i have a confession.. most of the time i don't plan my meals ahead. i get home from work on tuesdays at 2:30 and usually have no idea what to make. so starts the process of me pouring through my mom's cookbooks and searching the fridge for an inspiration. constantly i'm always saying, " mom, what should i make tonight?" she always replies, " that's the hardest part of cooking." which i have found to be so true! i have been trying be better about planning ahead, and making sure i know what i'm making the night before and writing up my grocery list so i can stop by our local iga on my way home from work. but the other tuesday night...i had no idea what to make, so i turned to
pinterest where i found a supper easy recipe that we already had most of the ingredients for.
