You probably all think that the family of a food blogger eats something new and exciting every day of the week, don't you? To be honest, we have a handful of tried and true recipes that are my go-to's week in and week out. Recipes that are no-brainers for me & that I know my family will not complain about, more or less.
But even food bloggers run into weeknight dinner ruts.
In fact, I was in the midst of one just a week or so ago. I failed to do my usual weekly meal plan just because I felt totally uninspired and unmotivated.
I was winging it from one evening to the next- which I should mention that I loathe- but I just couldn't sit down and write out a menu for the week. And all my usual go-to's just sound so, well... usual (aka, boring.)
Thank goodness for the Progresso Recipe Starters I happened to have in my pantry that week! I just needed a few ingredients, one of their tasty recipe starter sauces, and around 30 minutes to come up with a dinner idea that my family would love and that wouldn't bore my socks off.
