Let’s admit it. We’ve all been there: getting out of work at 5PM, driving through the traffic, then arriving home and thinking to yourself, “What should I make for dinner?” Is it even worth it – prep for hours, devour it in less than 15 minutes then spend another 30 mins to do the dishes? Yes, we encourage cooking too and here’s a guide for that. But here’s a list of friendly takeaway restaurants you can call or text to order, and pick them up on the way back home!
