The school year has started, and it might feel like a whirlwind of homework, sports practices, and permission slips you forgot to sign. And somewhere in there, you’re supposed to…make dinner?
Let’s make that easier. I’ve rounded up 35+ ideas that work for real life, whether you have a little bit of time or barely any at all. They’re grouped into three categories:
