The kitchen has never the place where I felt super confident- and my insecurity is 90% b/c of my inability to figure out what the f*ck to make for dinner. Recently, in a moment of frustration with my frenetic lack of focus, I took action- and I feel SO much better ever since. It is pretty simple- I laid it all out on the blog today, link ☝🏻, but to summarize:
1: Create a "theme" for each weeknight that is broad enough to allow choice, but narrow enough to help you focus (inspo from @seasons.of.renewal & @iheartnaptime )
2: Corral recipes in folders on Instapaper app (thank you to @hithapalepu for sharing this app months ago, I have been using ever since- I used to put all in an Instagram Saved Collection but since most recipes are linked outside the app, realized that wasn't best move)
3: Repeat key recipes over and over and over until I feel confident enough to "whip them up" while holding a conversation/doing a work call/watching an episode of my new favorite show EVER ("I'm Sorry" on Netflix- who watches?)
What are your go-to dinner ideas and/or how do you figure out what to make for weeknight dinners in your house? Drop any words of wisdom in the comment section on my blog or below and I will be forever grateful for the advice!
