Imagine someone said to you, I have a way that you could make thirty dinners, one for every night of the month, each one different but each one based off the same very basic, simple recipe. Each one tweaked in flavors so that you feel like you're eating something entirely new and exciting, and all of them easy. You'd probably say "I love you!" and then you'd kiss them right on the lips, possibly with tongue. That could just be me, because as I clicked through each of Real Simple's six basic recipes-and-variants for a full 30 days, I gasped "Oh man, I could totally do this!" And I was filled with glee. So easy to make a plan, so easy to follow a plan, so pleasant, don't you think, to have everything on hand and simple and fun during busy weeks and tired evenings, and during life in general.
This super simple shopping list will make cooking even easier by helping you stock all the essential ingredients.
