My biggest cooking mistake (and what it taught me)

I once ruined dinner so badly that we ordered pizza at 9pm...

Hey!

Thanks for all the warm responses to my welcome email! It's so nice to connect with you here.

I wanted to share something a bit embarrassing with you...

Last week, I completely ruined what was supposed to be a simple weeknight dinner.

I was making a "quick" stir-fry, got distracted by Instagram comments (ironic, right?), and burned the vegetables so badly that my kitchen looked like a crime scene.

My family ordered pizza at 9pm while I stood there staring at a pan of charcoal that used to be dinner.

Here's the thing though...

Even after years of creating recipes and helping 520k+ people eat healthier, I STILL have kitchen disasters.

The difference is, I've learned not to let one bad meal derail my entire week.

How? I have a backup plan.

3 things that saved me:

  1. I had backup meal ideas ready - Simple recipes I can make without thinking

  2. I didn't beat myself up about it - Bad meals happen to everyone

  3. I learned from it - Now I set a timer for EVERYTHING

Speaking of backup meal ideas...

After that disaster, I realized how important it is to have go-to dinner recipes that are practically foolproof.

That's exactly why I created my "30 Healthy Dinners" collection - 30 simple, delicious meals that take 30 minutes or less and use ingredients you can find anywhere.

Since you're part of my email family, I want to give you a special deal:

Get my complete "30 Healthy Dinners" ebook for just $4.99 (normally $9.99)

These are the exact recipes that save me when I'm tired, busy, or just don't want to think about what to make.

No more staring into the fridge wondering "what's for dinner?" No more emergency pizza orders. No more cooking stress.

Keep cooking (and don't feel bad about the occasional kitchen disaster)! Sarah

P.S. - That burned stir-fry? I turned it into a funny Instagram story and got hundreds of people sharing their own kitchen disasters. Sometimes our biggest mistakes make the best content! 😄
