I was my mom’s sous chef growing up. I spent so much time with her in the kitchen from childhood to my mid-twenties, but it never occurred to me that one of her struggles was figuring out what to cook for our next meal.
Why wasn’t anyone honest with us when we were teens, warning us that this would be one of our life-long dilemmas? That we would constantly be asking ourselves, “What’s for dinner (or lunch) today?” 🤔
Well, last week, my brain officially gave up on meal planning. Thankfully, I have a blog to turn to whenever I run out of ideas. Though, honestly, sometimes I just wish someone would cook for me (ahem, siblings, I’m looking at you!👀).
Anyway, I came across this Beef, Pepper, and Corn I made a long time ago. But since I was too lazy to go grocery shopping, I used canned corned beef instead of fresh beef. And let me tell you—it was just as delicious!
Would I make it again? Absolutely.
