Strollerderby
In theory, as the cook of the house, I’m supposed to plan the week’s meals in advance so we can do the shopping on the weekend, have what we need in the house each night, and avoid eating out for lack of interesting or even adequate meal options on hand. Unfortunately, most of the time, I am not even organized enough to marinate chicken the night before I’m planning to make it. So here I am, at one end of the meal-planning spectrum and there, way over yonder and all the way down t’other end, is my exact, polar opposite, Leslie Chisolm of Friendswood, Texas.
A small nutritional study out of Cornell University found that working parents often resort to time-saving coping strategies when it comes to feeding themselves and their families.
Can I get a “well, duh?”
With the exception of the foodies, most of the parents I know look into their fridge and dinner and think to themselves, “Okay, what’s the shortest path to a semi-nutritious meal?” It’s hard to think about preparing a major meal at the end of a long work day, with homework, bath, and bedtime still ahead.
