Fix-It and Forget-It

Where’s the balance between family favorite recipes and being stuck in a rut? On hectic days, it’s so easy to turn to familiar recipes that we know our family already likes. But it does seem like we’re just cooking with the same tomato sauce, pasta, and cheese over and over again. We’ve talked about this before.

We read an article in our local paper that made us laugh in recognition: the article is here. By the end of the article, we realized that the writer was singing our Fix-It song: that home cooks can help each other out.

Home cooks know new twists on old favorites that don’t take numerous steps, hours in the kitchen, or unplanned runs to the grocery store. We’re down in the trenches, cooking day after day, and we can give each other ideas for easy, tasty, healthy meals.

So, tell us, any new twists recently to your favorite family recipes?
