Zero Waste Series Episode 4 🌮

After a long day of work, kids, and errands, cooking an extravagant meal every night just isn’t realistic. That’s why I keep it simple and use what I already have—because dinner doesn’t need to be complicated to be delicious.

Tonight’s Zero Waste meal: beef tacos with cilantro lime rice. 🌮🌿

✔️ Pulled beef from the freezer, marinated with soy sauce, olive oil, pepper, and lime.

✔️ Cooked up some rice, added cilantro + lime.

✔️ Fried the beef, toasted tortillas, and made tacos.

✔️ Kids got cheese quesadillas with rice.

That’s it. 20 minutes, zero waste, and everyone’s happy! Cooking doesn’t have to be fancy—sometimes, simple is best. 🙌

Do you keep weeknight dinners simple too? Let me know below! ⬇️
