Inside The Lab:
đ Happy Friday Ladies and Gents,
Let me know if this scenario sounds familiar to you: It's been a long day, and you're exhausted. You've been standing in the aisle at the grocery store, staring at the products on the shelves, trying to figure out what to make for dinner.
If only they'd jump into your cart and tell you, "Don't worry, we have dinner covered." Wouldn't we all love a fairytale moment like that?
The fantasy is funny. The decision fatigue behind it is not.
Wondering what to make for dinner is real. It's the slow drain of a thousand small choices that led up to this point.
That's where I was on Wednesday.
And yes, it happens to the best of us. Even me. But having a system changes the outcome, and I have good news for you today. Not just because it's Friday, but because I'm giving you something that will be useful to you in moments like these.
This is for you. The ones who always make dinner, the once-a-week dinner makers (who have zero clue what to make), and the recipe-savers (who have no intention of ever using all the recipes they save). My hope is that you use this before your next trip to the store and pass it on to a friend.
