I’m always looking for new things to add to my blog and recipes are a great fit. So, I’ve asked Barb to become a contributor starting in August. We’re both really excited to bring some great recipes and cooking tips to you as we both love to cook- I just don’t have much time. Since Barb’s a professional chef and owns a meal-planning service, she’s consistently trying out new recipes in her two kitchens (yes, you read that right. All of you that entertain should be very jealous). Why not share them with all of you from time to time?

In the next month, we plan to share some lunchbox ideas, quick dinners and rumor has it, we have a slider bar post coming. Since we both have kids (and teens to boot), all the food will be family friendly- except for the cocktails. So, stay tuned it will be lots of fun.

If you haven’t had a chance to check out Meals By the Week and you’re a busy mom, you should. All of the recipes use fresh ingredients, they’re budget friendly and they’ll save you time. Your plan is matched to the weekly sales at the grocery store you currently shop, so you don’t have to price match or chase sales at multiple stores. And, you can tailor the recipes for 2-16 people. I am a big fan and I think you will be too!
