Girl Dinner

So you're hungry and not up for cooking, but there's nothing good in the house? Prepare for this eventuality by stocking your fridge and pantry with staples that you can turn into sandwiches, wraps, pizzas and desserts for dinner at a moment's notice or by cooking when you feel like it and making extras for when you don't, choosing leftovers that last like dips, snack mixes, pasta salads, frittatas and quesadillas. When your kitchen is filled with tasty leftovers and snacks, assembling an amazing low- or no-cook dinner is a breeze.
