When you’ve spent all day watching football
(and seeing your team lose!)
Then doing electrical repair, painting. , and making multiple trips to the hardware store…
You need a lazy dinner.
Which is what we did tonight.
I’m aware that I’m following up a post on homemade yogurt with an ultra lazy meal. It’s ok. I’ve said it before, I’m vast, I contain multitudes.
Step 1:
Buy this sauce at Costco.
It’s the best sauce ever. It’s twice as much at the grocery store. Costco stopped having it for a while, and we pouted. A lot. Because no matter how delicious it may be, we can’t handle dropping $10 on a single jar of sauce.
Step 2:
Buy these meatballs at Costco
(notice a theme in my life?)
They’re delicious. My husband has told me I shouldn’t try and make meatballs, because compared to these, anything I made would probably be disappointing. They’re amazing for lazy dinners (we do them with sweet and sour over rice too)
Step 3:
Boil some pasta
Whole wheat of course. Negates the fatty meatballs, I promise.
Step 4:
Toss some spinach on a plate
(I added some olives post-picture cause I was feelin’ sassy)
Step 5:
Eat. Then open some wine.
The closest I came to making anything myself with this meal was pouring the oil and vinegar on my salad.
I’m ok with that. You can’t be Little House in the Big Woods every day.
Besides, I followed this up by making a themed veggie platter for my husband to take to work. Themed. Veggie. Platter.
Not kidding.
Pretty sure those balance each other out.
What are you loving at Costco right now?
(You really do need the sauce, I promise. )
