Sometimes cooking dinner at home can seem like such a unicorn. We aspire, plan, and fully intend to do it, but can never quite make it happen. After working late, running errands, and picking up the kids, the last thing you want to do is spend an hour on your feet in the kitchen, chopping endless vegetables and washing a tower of dishes.
