The thought of a hot, fresh meal at the end of a long day many times never becomes a reality unless I settle for a frozen dinner that doesn’t really fill me up or a frozen pizza that leaves me feeling guilty. I never really satisfy my craving for wholesome, fresh ingredients unless I dedicate my entire night to cooking a meal.
