When you get home from vacation, you want things to be easy. We even go so far as to clean the house before we leave out and wash all of our clothes the day before we head back so that, when we get home, we aren’t burdened with housework. You know that moment when you get home from vacation and realize that you don’t have anything in the house to eat? You’ve been driving all day and the prospect of trying to cook something is just too daunting.
When we got back from the beach last week, we were feeling just like this. Since we needed to head out for milk and stuff for breakfast anyhow, Beth took the girls out to our Walmart Supercenter while Matthew and I unloaded the van. While there, she saw some Effortless Meals by Walmart and Coca-Cola. They have several options, including pizza and sandwiches, but she opted for a rotisserie chicken, a tub of potato salad, and a bottle of Coca-Cola.
With mail, newspapers, and unpacked items from the van spread all over the dining room table, we set up a little picnic on the coffee table in the living room. We pulled out the paper plates and plastic utensils to share our easy welcome home feast. Everything tasted great and the kids had big smiles on their faces. Most of all, it was so easy!
What better way to arrive home than to put away all of the clean clothes, share a meal, and sleep soundly in your own bed knowing that all of the work is done.
How do you make your return home effortless? Leave us a comment and share your story.
I love effortless meals. We cook up chicken on Sunday nights so we can easily make ourselves salads during the week.
When I have a busy day, like Tae Kwon Do at our usual dinner time, I love making dinner easy with ravioli or a rotisserie chicken.
We do the same thing when we come home from vacation. Simple dinners we can grab on the go. It takes me a few days to get back into our routine.
Busy as I am, effortless meals are typically the norm. 🙂
Walmart does have a lot of effortless meal solutions. What a great way to end your vacation!
I love that you were able to keep the fun going with a family meal once you got home. Hope you had an amazing time at the beach!
I love effortless meals like this. They allow for more quality family time.
There is nothing better on a busy day than meals that make themselves. I love effortless meals!
I agree. I hate having to do tons of stuff when i get home from vacation. We always have something simple that night as well.
That’s awesome. Summer is soo hectic with activities and such, this would be great for our family.
My dad is a HUGE Coke fan. He has an unusual name though, so I’ll have to hunt high and low to find one for him 🙂
Yup. Sometimes you just gotta let someone else do the work, like Walmart! lol
I’m a huge Coke fan! Especially after having my last baby, I don’t know why but I just NEED one every day now. 🙂
Mmmm, you gotta love an easy, tasty meal. Thank you for sharing!
My wife gets these quite often from Walmart for our home. It is a nice quick and fairly healthy meal option for us. It’s far cheaper than eating out that’s for sure.
