At the end of a long day, the last thing you probably want to do is cook dinner. You’ve already attended 30 meetings, worked out, grocery shopped—the sheer thought of pulling out multiple pots and pans is enough to propel you to your Postmates app. Aside from the actual meal prep involved, there’s the whole cleanup thing to deal with afterward.
