4 weeks of dinner {recipes+shopping lists = genius}

how often do you think to yourself..oy! time to make dinner? what..again? aren't you just so sick of making dinner? ok so you're a saint! you looove making dinner for your family..but not me! no way Giuseppe!

so..back in september i noticed that real simple magazine had printed a 4 week dinner menu plan with recipes..photos..and shopping lists! oh i love you so much i think i wanna marry you!

so ok it took me until now ( 5 months..not bad)to start it..but it is so great. i take the list to the market..and i don't have to think, or be creative! yay! and then i come home on monday with everything i will need for 5 nights of dinners. and not only are the different than anything i would have ever dreamed up on my own..my family loves me for giving them something yummy and NEW! the big thing is that i have given you a link to the recipes, photos etc on the real simple website..but if you can get a reprint from the mag i highly recommend it..as it is so much prettier!

SPLIT [becky's online mag]

one of my absolute favorite humans is my friend rebecca lown..graphic designer extrordinaire,and developer of splitmag..which is her weekly newsletter for separated and/or divorced people.

rebecca is one of the original renaissance women..she has taken on everything from emt class..to cake decorating! she is the author of several amazing "art books", the mother of two fab kids, and she throws a mean channukah party! recently she created the split newsletter to speak to the lighter side of breaking up..never shmoopy..her posts always feature some way to have a little fun. this week i loved learning about alikewise a dating site that puts singles together based on their taste in literature..i mean..c'mon..that is g-e-n-i-u-s!!
