I don’t know why it took me 34 years on this planet to fully understand that really, truly kick-ass dinners lead to work lunches that you actually want to eat. But, that’s the insight friends. I realized it on January 2nd in the 2020 year of our Lord when I looked forward to eating leftover Black-eyed Peas and Grandma’s Mexican Cornbread all morning at work. When I heated them up, they tasted even better than I imagined they would and I had my lightbulb moment. For this week and all weeks here on out, I am focusing on making the most delicious freaking dinners you could ever imagine so that I feel more motivated than ever to eat lunch in at work. I ate at my peas at my desk and then headed outside and walked for two miles among the vineyards at work and I don’t know if I can ever remember I time in my life where I just felt so genuinely happy and alive at 12p at work.
I guess that’s what good dinners will do you for you.
That said, here’s this week’s epic dinner meal plan even though this week is unusually heavy with scheduled work lunches. It’s still good for me to get in the habit of cooking amazing dinners.
