My dinner drama came from a rather rotten day. I felt like I was walking in a fog all day through quicksand, not only did I forget to put out anything to thaw, but I had neither the motivation or energy to poke around the pantry for inspiration. I crashed for a very needed nap, and awoke to find it was already 5pm! Oh, no! Thank goodness eggs take no time to scramble... voila! Breakfast was served.
So, have you had your own last minute dinner drama lately? Do you have a go-to food or meal idea?
Have you seen Barber Foods in your grocery store? Their Seasoned Selects are another great way to answer the inevitable, "What's for dinner?" Question.
With a great selection of options, I enjoyed the Seasoned Selects Spinach Florentine.
Straight from frozen to the oven in about 35 minutes, I was a dinner star and I barely had to do anything. To help you out with the rest of the table, check out their list of side dishes and sauces. The site even has suggestion with what to pair with each of their entrees. For the Spinach Florentine? Pair it with Simple & Delicious Angel Hair Pasta or their basic Marinara Sauce recipe.
See? Dinner dilemmas solved.
Would you like to see your own dinner disasters averted? I am happy to say that Barber Foods is going to send one lucky reader a $25 GC so you can stock up on your own Seasoned Selects!

My craziest dinner drama so far was on Thanksgiving party, I burnt the big bird so we served only side dishes to all guests.

My dinner drama is putting the main meal, the meatloaf, into the oven and not turning it on. Yes I did that lol. It cost me an extra 30 minutes and we were past being hungry by the time it was done. I've had a few dinner mishaps :).

Dinner drama happens when someone suddenly remember they are supposed to be somewhere NOW...and we haven't had dinner yet! Those are nights when we eat cold sandwiches or dry cereal on the run.
