The Six O'Clock Scramble

Are you constantly stressing about what to make for dinner when 6 o'clock rolls around?

Trying to figure out what to eat when everyone is tired and hungry is extremely challenging. At these times it often seems easier to get fast food or pick up the phone and order something. Therefore one of the keys to avoiding the 6 o'clock scramble is taking the time to plan out your meals for the week and having the ingredients already on hand to put your plan into action. As I always tell my clients, while it does require some work, a little planning goes a long way.

I have found a great meal planning website to help you with this. The Six O'clock Scramble is an online dinner planning service. By subscribing you get a weekly menu plan with five family-tested recipes that take 30 minutes or less to prepare. You also get a grocery store list for the recipes so you can shop just once per week. Subscriptions are available for either 3, 6, or 12 months. All the recipes have nutritional information and designations such as whether it is gluten-free, kosher, or vegetarian.

If you're not interested in subscribing to a service, there are many great free recipe sites to put together your own weekly plan such as Cooking Light, Allrecipes, Eating Well, and The Vegetarian Times.
