I wish you would just come to my house and cook for me all the time 🙂
sometimes, i wish my house worked more like my aunt’s on the weekends. she makes a big pot of food saturday morning and everyone trickles in over the course of the day to eat and linger and visit. it’s this wonderful flood of folks all day. someday i’ll be like her…
I want to be like YOU! How do you have the energy to cook all those amazing meals from scratch after working all day? Living alone doesn’t help…
you’re really sweet. thank you. working from home a few days a week def works in my favor and yes… cooking for one makes it exponentially harder to motivate. simple things that can be dressed in different ways and/or frozen for later can be lifesavers.
