The Six O'Clock Scramble: Dinner in 20 Minutes or Less

Book excerpt: Previously published as part of SOS! The Six O'Clock Scramble to the Rescue. Dinner with kids shouldn't be a battleground. And it shouldn't make a martyr out of the parent whose job it is to get it on the table fast, fresh and hot every day at 6 PM. Aviva Goldfarb's cheerful Scramble system takes the hassle, stress and worry out of mealtime. Now, with The Six O'Clock Scramble: Dinner in 20 Minutes or Less, Goldfarb is taking an extra of-the-moment stress away from meal planning for busy families: concern about the environment, about the cost of shipping out-of-season food halfway around the world, about packaging, about additives and preservatives. In SOS! The Six O'Clock Scramble to the Rescue, readers will recipes that: --help readers eat seasonally without missing their favorite foods --move toward a slightly more vegetarian menu for health and a lighter environmental footprint --save money through easy, efficient planning, bulk buying, freezing and storing, and avoiding waste --and much more!
