 I love to cook. However, some days, I just want to be able to kick back and relax to a good movie or book without the interruption of preparing a meal. Other times, I simply want to indulge in the variety of a menu that I haven’t prepared myself. It may sound a bit crazy that someone like me who thrives on recipes would want to break from my personal routine and joy, but sometimes I’m just too tired to cook but too hungry to ignore these food deals. Every person deserves a break every now and then!
