The Ultimate Mother's Day Gift for You? Delicious Food Delivered (& More Time for YOU!) by Hungry Root

They’re getting ready for bed and I can either eat the scraps of fries left behind, or try to cook something a bit more grown-up. I just want something good! Ever been there? Rather than desperately trying to cobble together a dinner masterpiece from the odds and ends in my fridge, I’ve realized there’s a better option that does not involve meal kits.
