Hello everyone!
I hope that you guys are ready for the weekend! My brain has not really been working today, I think that’s what happened when you’re stressed out of your mind. Like, do you ever just get to a point where you have no idea how you’re going to do it? Like, how are you going to make it?
I hate that when I started this blog in 2015 (over on squarespace) the world was so different. I had way more optimism. Right now, I feel like I’m just losing all optimism for life.
I don’t mean to rant, it’s just been one of those days and yall probably know how it feels, especially if you’re a parent or an adult.
Well, now into the food! We are doing something really fun and super easy to make during the weekdays when you have absolutely no time. We are all out here trying to save money anyway, so those days when we would rather order food out, doing something that barely takes time is definitely the way to go.
You can also serve it with braised cabbage, bread, or any kind of veggies!
This one pot, instant pot Swedish meatballs will help you get through the week with something a little tasty
