Girl Dinner' Is the TikTok Recipe You Need After a Long Day

 

With over 8.7 million views on TikTok, cooking dinner is (effortlessly) fun with this popular concept. 

 Preparing a home-cooked meal every night can be a tedious and time-consuming task for even  the most passionate of cooks. Whether you're spending the day working, running errands, or surfing the couch, sometimes it feels like grinding a clove of garlic is the last thing you want to do. Thankfully, TikTok has come to the rescue with the #girldinner trend.TikTok creator @liviemaher first posted to #girldinner on May 11 and her video has since racked up over 170,000 likes and 1.2 million views. The hashtag alone has garnered 8.7 million views - it's safe to say people love it. 

 What exactly is  #girldinner?Maher compares her to a "medieval peasant girl". Meal consisting of a piece of cheese, some pieces of bread, pickled cucumber and grapes. There's nothing aesthetic about it: video after video shows food being carelessly mixed in a way that's appetizing but not very visually appealing (compared to a similar charcuterie platter). Other #girldinner videos feature packets of popcorn, sliced ​​cucumbers, salami, french fries and, in @marieevevenne's case, whipped ricotta and 

 Tostito seasoned with sea salt. She commented, "Oh god, when I eat cheese and blueberries, I call that my rat girl meal." Others have called this mixed type of meal "cured meats," "French girl meal," or "mouse meal."” 

 Although the hashtag is #girldinner, there's no limit to who you can give it to, especially if you have kids. After a long day of school, sports, and carpooling, you probably need a casual grab-and-go meal. Table manners can also be served up for the evening and replaced by dipping, dipping and snacking. If you're smart, you can sneak in  healthy options like sliced ​​carrots or celery dipped in peanut butter.  #girldinner is also a great way to rid the fridge and pantry of nearly empty grocery bags and containers.

 Also, the #girldinner trend and summer go hand in hand: it's all about relaxing, isn't it? So get off the stove, turn off the oven, and tame your inner medieval peasant. A piece of bread and a slice of cheese may become your favorite meal ever.
