As of today, the Dinner Together concept is changing.

You may have read last week that because of the new dynamics of my job, it's become much more challenging to get home for a family dinner that I actually have time to cook -- much less make look pretty for a picture for you. When I do, we often eat lean protein with some kind of optional sauce, the kind of recipe you've seen here before.

So to be good to myself while still bringing you fresh content, I've decided to mix up the format. Once or twice a month, I'll have a recipe here, as I've done weekly since this blog began. On the other Wednesdays, I'll do something different, like highlighting another blog I think has great ideas for family meals.

The Spatulatta girls have one of my favorite family food blogs, and the best thing about it is that the girls do most of the cooking (with some adult help, as you'll see in the video above of their Harvest Soup). Show it to your daughters and sons, and they may be inspired to try something new.
