Mornings: Breakfast in the Blink of an Eye

Basically, you do all the work while you’re blissfully dreaming of a child-free trip to the Maldives. Mix rolled oats with your choice of milk, throw in some chia seeds, and top it off with berries and a dash of honey or maple syrup. Let it all marinate in the fridge overnight. Wake up, grab a spoon, and voila—breakfast is served, toddler chaos included a

Lunch Break: Naw, Just Make It a Sandwich
Alright, real talk: sandwiches are the young Picasso's canvas of the culinary world. When children are about, there's nothing as satisfying nor as convenient. But we're not just talking PB&J, oh no! We’re elevating the sandwich game, mama!
How about a Caprese Sandwich? It's effortless. Layer mozzarella, tomato, and basil leaves between two slices of artisan bread. Drizzle with a hint of balsamic glaze. Add a side of Joy—preferably in liquid form, and possibly caffeinated, but I won’t judge if it’s wine.

Dinner: Dining with a Twist (and a Torpedo)
If dinner-making feels like running a one-woman circus, you're not alone. Enter stage left: Sheet-Pan Dinners. Trust me, one dirty dish is more than enough (your toddler’s outfit counts as another dish too, I reckon).
Throw together cubed chicken, chunks of sweet potatoes, and broccoli florets. Season with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any herbs you’ve got lying around. Pop it into the oven, and suddenly, you are the domestic goddess you never thought you’d be. Best of all, it's picky-toddler approved!
Sheet-pan dinners: winning at life, one less dish at a time.
