What’s For Dinner This Week- Eat. Live. and Be Well.

By on July 12, 2012 in Making Dinner

Family Dinner Meal Planning

This week is The Organized Cook’s first-ever Weekly Meal Plan from a guest chef.  I wrote about my day with rockstar chef, Adam Kaswinder, aka Chef Kas in “A Day with Chef Kas” where we cooked up some “awesomeness” in the kitchen.

Chef Kas recipes are super healthy with fresh summer ingredients, and- with a dash of “Organized Cook” to the menu to make it simple and easy for us busy moms- we appropriately titled this Weekly Meal Plan from The Organized Cook “Eat. Live. and Be Well”.

So if you’re a subscriber to The Organized Cook, a little awesomeness is what’s on your dinner menu this week.
