👩🍳 Why I Keep Coming Back to This One
I'm Megan a mom of two, living in Arizona, where dinner often has to happen fast. This recipe was born from one of those nights: everyone was hungry, I was tired, and all I had was frozen cod and some pantry staples.
The garlic butter melted over the fish, the lemon added brightness, and suddenly dinner felt like comfort, not chaos.
Now it's my go-to. I’ve shared it with friends, taught it in meal prep classes, and made it for neighbors who needed a little extra love.
