Love this reminder that we don't have to feel totally in love with cooking every day. Sometimes we just need to get dinner on the table!

Loved the honesty around the fact that we just don’t always want to cook, and the idea that time is an expensive ingredient as well. It’s always encouraging to know we aren’t alone with the kitchen fatigue!

Right? Also, I feel like once you give yourself permission to NOT have that magical moment, it sometimes just arrives...

I always feel so lost trying to create a grain bowl that has the same full range of flavors/textures as one’s I’ve gotten from a restaurant! I need a guide!
