If you are like me,  you are challenged to find quick, tasty and kid-friendly options for family gatherings. When I am designated as the “apps person” here are some quick go-to items that I’ve made over the years–with happy faces all-around!

Nourishing yourself, finding new ways to create thrifty and nutritious meals while fostering creativity can be a great exercise in self-love–especially with the stress of a job hunt! Even better: once you have a go-to roster of great dishes, life is less stressful when you jump into that new role!

Happy cooking and happy hunting to each of you that are on the journey to the next gig. For those who simply want to try some new food options, enjoy!
