Do you know what's for dinner tonight? Unless you have planned, shopped, and prepped, it can be easier to pick up something for Monday dinner rather than cook. Mondays.. they get away from us, nothing goes as expected, and are generally difficult to muster through.

Instead of spending money on fast food or dining out, I decided to grab a couple of premade meals from my local Publix. With the impending doom of the hurricane, rainy weather, and general malaise; I definitely don't want to cook!

This is a single meal of brown sugar glazed salmon, rice, and brussell sprouts with some additions of my own (soy sauce and seasonings). It comes in a small aluminum container, ready for the oven. 22 minutes later- voila! A complete meal! 

Granted, I actually ate this meal on Saturday, but I have a few other publix meals in my fridge ready for cooking!

The salmon was amazing, and I even shared some with the pup because I couldn't finish it all!

Grocery stores that include premade meal kits for solo adventurers or family meals includes Lowes Foods, Harris Teeter, Publix, and even WalMart!

While some may complain about the price; I've found that purchasing all the items needed to make a meal like this costs more, and the leftovers most likely wouldn't get eaten, or perhaps frozen until beyond freezer burn :)

Of course, chicken nuggets, pizza, and the likes are all available in your freezer for the kiddos!

Try something different tonight and skip the fast food line!
