how my “lazy weekend” turned into a family feast 🍖🍷
This past Saturday, I planned for a lazy morning — coffee, paper, and zero intention of cooking. But my kids had other plans. “Dad, can we grill something?” they begged.
So I rolled up my sleeves, dusted off the backyard grill, and went hunting for whatever could be thrown on it. Luckily, I’d grabbed a pack of chicken thighs and some sausages during Friday’s sale 🛒. I tossed them on the grill, threw together a quick salad, and even found a half-used jar of barbecue sauce lurking in the fridge.
Two hours later, we had a feast that looked like I spent the whole day preparing — juicy grilled meat, crisp veggies, and even a little wine for me to celebrate the weekend 🍷. The best part? Everyone helped out, from flipping the sausages to stirring the salad, and no one complained about “boring leftovers.”
Moral of the story: sometimes a “lazy weekend” just needs a little creativity and a grill. Budget-friendly, stress-free, and memorable for the whole family.
