3 recipes to help with dinnertime decision fatigue
The recipes use simple ingredients and quick techniques to help home cooks get dinner on the table with less planning.
Chef Caroline Hanna's new cookbook, "Hungry," addresses weeknight decision fatigue by offering more than 90 practical recipes designed for busy home cooks.
Many home cooks face daily stress from deciding what to eat, often resulting in last-minute grocery trips and dinnertime decision fatigue that complicates meal planning.
The collection features blueberry-banana pancakes, tunacado bowls with capers, and sourdough turkey schnitzel with arugula. Hanna said, "This recipe came to be during my first trimester of pregnancy."
Simplifying preparation helps cooks maintain healthy habits without excessive kitchen time, as Hanna suggests using a food processor to create consistent textures and speed daily meal tasks.
"Hungry" serves as a reminder that cooking need not be feared, contrary to what diet culture dictates, by focusing on simple planning to reduce stress and support balanced nutrition.
