Lunch & Dinner Ideas
Lunch or dinner, I keep it simple. Sometimes it’s just a salad thrown together or yesterday’s sandwich warmed up. Other days I’ll slow down with soup on the stove or a plate of pasta for everyone to share. Easy or filling, meals like these remind me cooking doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to taste good.
