I swear, Pinterest can be my best friend, or my worst enemy.
Just depends on the day.
I’m always coming across a recipe here, a recipe there that I know, I just know, has to be dinner tonight.
And I’m cooking so I get to make what I want, right?
But later, usually while I’m pulling out ingredients, that rational part of my brain starts functioning again.
It then usually reminds me that dinner needs to be more.
I actually have to make sides and stuff.
Not just the 5-star main dish I had my heart set on.
Bummer.
Carrots and ranch area a match made in heaven, so I thought ‘these have to be amazing, right?!’
