Yet I still make my to-do list the same way the very next morning! Until I morph into Superwoman, it’s just not going to happen. Fortunately, I’ve learned to stay realistic about dinner. This week, we’re using time-tested assists like the slow cooker, plus leaning on a light and quickly simmered soup, and the most favorite of my personal Hail Mary meals: Big Salad. Whether KISS means “keep it simple, stupid” or just a 70s glam-metal band, keeping dinner simple is one way to stay grounded....

I want to help my family ease back into a routine of school, work, and easy family-friendly dinners.

Our holiday was full of sweet treats and cheesy casseroles. I’ve gathered light, easy, and quick dinner ideas for this week....

But let’s take it another step further: Add some freshly cooked corn, some arugula, and a hunk of burrata. And the perky tang of a simple oil and vinegar dressing ties it all together. Now you’re on the moon! What Is Burrata? Burrata is a fresh Italian buffalo milk cheese—it’s basically mozzarella but with a rich, thick filling of cream (you can stop swooning now).

“Freeze! Cut! Don’t move!” “Faster, faster, faster!” “Dozer, move! MOVE!” “Chop chop chop, come on, let’s get this scene done!” “Dozer. I said MOVE!” One day, I need to use the sound that’s recorded on the footage that I shoot for the recipe videos. When I watch the clips, I’m always in hysterics when I listen to the ridiculous conversation: me batting Dozer away, listening to my mother getting all stressed out when I crack the whip to chop faster, her mocking my Baby Hands and throwing her weight around as the “talent” in my videos....

There’s a whole giant head of broccoli in this. And you don’t even need to steam it separately, it gets cooked right in the same pot with the mac and cheese. 🙂 Plus chicken + pasta + cheese = complete meal. At least, in my books!

This fruitcake is our family’s favorite, packed with dates, walnuts, raisins, and glazed cherries. Think raisin bread on steroids. The recipe comes from the wife of a family friend, Patricia, who for years sent us a loaf every Christmas.

Bacon bits and sharp cheddar greatly enhance its flavor. Prep time is just 15 minutes, and then it needs an hour in the fridge to allow the flavors to meld. I’m not a big fan of raw broccoli.
