First: Julia Child doesn't live here. Nor does Jamie Oliver or Emeril or Gordon or Eric or anyone else with any culinary training. We're just people who work long hours and who also like good food - and have the misfortune of living in a place where decent restaurants are rarer than hen's teeth.
I'm a political reporter, which means my schedule is completely at other people's whim. My partner is a veterinarian, so ditto and then some. Each of us regularly clocks 60-70 hours a week. Sounds like a recipe for take-out, right? Wrong. We're big believers in honest food, as tasty and unprocessed and easy as possible, low sodium and (mostly) low fat.
We started this blog because so many of our friends commented on our Facebook posts about our menus, mostly saying there's no way they'd have the time to cook what we cook. Most of them eat takeout or frozen entrees every night. If you ask us, that's freaking depressing, not to mention unhealthy. If you aren't happy to come home to dinner after a long day, maybe you need to rethink your dinner. Even overworked people can eat well if you plan a little.
We welcome feedback and suggestions - we're always in the market for new menu ideas, so please send them along. Thanks for reading!
Laura and Maria
