If I had to describe my cooking style in one word, that word would be hodgepodge.

Hey, I don’t care if anyone else likes it! As I always say: Do I look like Paula Deen to you?

I like hodgepodge meals because they’re fast, they’re easy, and they’re a great way to use up leftovers.

If you’re someone who likes carefully planned and prepared gourmet meals, that’s totally fine. I do too when I’m not the one planning and preparing them!

Just know that it’s okay to hodgepodge your meals. It’s okay to eat what’s available–and insist your family does, too–instead of spend 8.5 hours in the kitchen every day.
