Today I want to talk about last-minute dinner ideas!. On those days when you suddenly realize you need dinner and you don't have anything planned, you’re desperate to make a quick and easy dinner, not have to get takeout or spend more money, and you have to make do with what you have in your kitchen.
To have a list of ideas is very helpful because in that moment of panic, it's very hard to think of something to make.
Yesterday afternoon at about 4pm, I suddenly thought “Oh my goodness, what's for dinner?” I’d planned lunch. I'd planned dinner for the following night with guests, but I’d forgotten to plan dinner for that evening, and nothing was defrosted.
I’m gonna give you some ideas of what you can do at the last minute, and then help you to make your own list of last-minute dinner ideas.
Also please go to familyfoodformoms.com/lastminute to download a free printable of Last-Minute Dinner Ideas complete with all the meals I mentioned in the episode plus PANTRY and FREEZER items lists with place to fill in your own ideas!
