The Murphy’s Law of Leftovers is proven to be fairly spot on most of the time. It’s scientifically proven that the longer you prepare a meal for your kids, the more likely they are to ask for a bag of microwave popcorn and a juice box for dinner. And if it’s not, it damn well should be!

My most recent dinner fail with my kids? Turkey leftovers and turkey tetrazzini.

This graphic sums up when I ended up having for dessert. So the next time you spend hours scouring Pinterest for a great recipe, just remember that you could just order takeout AND still drink wine. Win/win for everyone!
