I love the burrito bowls at Chipotle – they are pretty allergy-friendly there, and the food is tasty too. However, I can make pretty much the same thing at home, plus make it a little healthier. Mostly because I don’t have access to all that fresh guacamole! Still, when you want something warm and filling…

The best chicken and rice EVER
When I want to cook a meal that the whole family will eat, this chicken and rice dish is what I make. It has some of my favorite things in it, despite its simplicity. Fresh herbs, citrus, and that perfectly cooked bite of chewy rice. The recipe comes from an old New York Times column…

Meal Planning
I don’t mind cooking when I have all the time in the world. But in real life, I have maybe 20 minutes to get dinner on the table as soon as I get home from work, while my 4 year old continually asks for snacks because she’s “huuuungry.” It’s stressful. My key to dinner-time survival…
