I am the queen of fast dinners. And by that, I don’t mean I make the most delicious fast dinners all the time (although some are pretty darn good) what I mean is that most nights of the weeks 5 pm rolls around and I haven’t even thought about dinner yet. But somehow I get it on the table by 6 anyway!
During the school year, the afternoons are packed full of homework, emptying lunch boxes, washing school uniforms (because someone always falls into the mud or spills their lunch) and other mom tasks. And then in the summertime just seems to fly by. Easy dinners are always a necessity no matter the month.
