This week has been particularly hectic for me (thus the two whole days of silence!) and I have to admit it’s been tempting to slip into an all too familiar routine: grabbing some takeout on the way home and parking myself in front of the TV with my laptop and attempting to play catch-up all night. But I’ve been resisting and I’d like to share my secret weapon, NoTakeOut.com.
This site provides daily menus and detailed instructions (you know how I love detailed instructions) for cooking a homemade meal. The instructions are the best part in my opinion. They provide a “game plan” that tells you what to do starting from when you walk in the door:
It’s a perfect resource for the week when you simply forgot to make a weekly menu. Just look up today’s meal as you’re headed out of the office. Print off the grocery list and instructions and stop by the grocery store on the way home instead of the drive through. You can subscribe to get the daily meal in your inbox and the site is fairly easy to read on a smartphone if you want to go green and avoid printing.
And as an added bonus, they provide a wine pairing suggestion just in case it’s been that kind of day.
