Weeknight Dinner Project

Yahoo! Round-Up

May and June were super-busy months… and so I posted even less than usual! I’ve finally come up for air and wanted to share some of the projects I was working on during that busy time starting with these articles I wrote for Yahoo! Shine:

I also shot a new batch of videos for Parents and wrote a couple of pieces for New York Family magazine, including one that will be on the cover next month. I’ll post a link!

I’m enjoying my summer “down time” — I went to IKEA on a weekday, which I highly recommend, and I plan on seeing a couple of afternoon movies. I’m also using some of these extra hours to organize my recipes and plan a couple of big projects I have coming up in the fall. Good stuff!

I’d love to hear feedback on the Yahoo! pieces, especially the snacking article which I suspect might be a bit controversial.

It’s 5:45 PM on a Wednesday night. You’ve just walked in the door, home from work or from picking up your kids from soccer practice. Now what?

Unless your spouse is in the kitchen making supper (or you have a fabulous personal chef…), chances are this is one of your least favorite parts of the day: having to pull together a quick dinner that everyone in the family will eat.
