Amy shares a week's worth of real life dinners to (hopefully!) share a little cooking inspiration during these days when meal prepping and making can feel somewhat endless. She talks about meals from a recent week that included Homemade Pizza,Shrimp and Broccoli Pasta,Bean and Cheese Quesadillas, BBQ Baked Chicken and Rice, Burgers and Alexia Sweet Potato Fries (also known as why would you make homemade fries when these frozen ones are so good!) and more. Amy also shared one tip that helps her break out of a cooking rut and feed herself first. Find us @v_solesmith and @yummytoddlerfood on social media or email [email protected].

87. In Which We Take A Hiatus (And Talk Back To School Mental Load)

We're starting this episode with a sad announcement: We're taking another hiatus. (Thanks to COVID, remote schooling, 2020 in general...) But before we go, we're downloading all of our thoughts about the mental load of back to school season — especially this year, when many kids (like Amy's!) are still stuck at home, and others (like Virginia's!) are going to school in tents.

We also discuss:

  • Our favorite lunchbox.
  • Amy's exhaustive insulated lunchbag research.
  • And even more exhaustive idea lists for daycare lunches, kindergarten lunches, and disposable lunch gear.
  • Oh and the super cool sandwich sealer!

In less good news, we mentioned programs like Pandemic EBT, which at recording time, we thought would be re-authorized, but as of writing these show notes, has not, with dire consequences.

So, you know, Vote Biden.
