Here at Kitchn, it’s not uncommon for us to regularly share pictures of the contents of our fridges with one another or maintain busy group chats about our latest and greatest farmer’s market finds. So, we decided to launch My Perfect Week, a short series of food diaries from Kitchn staffers detailing how, why, and what we like to eat in a given week.
Today in My Perfect Week, our series of weekly food diaries, we asked Kitchn’s brand partnerships director, Grace, to tell us how she and her family get through a busy schedule on a vegetarian meal plan. Grace lives with her partner Patrick, 8-month-old baby Finn, and sweet pup Moxie, and everything they eat (even Moxie’s food!) is made from scratch with carefully sourced whole foods, with a definite emphasis on fresh fruits and veggies. (It’s a busy week.
Whether you’re the parent of a toddler or a teenager, we probably don’t need to remind you that snacks are serious business in any household with kids. And if your kids are learning from home (and you’re simultaneously working and teaching from home) right now, keeping a steady supply of Welch’s fruit snacks or sweet potato puffs on hand may seem like a Sisyphean task. But, there’s a better way.
Alice Choi, aka Hip Foodie Mom, specializes in recipes that are delicious, easy to follow, and can be ready in under 30 minutes. While getting a meal on the table for her husband and two daughters in record time is her specialty, grocery shopping has always been a chore, taking up valuable weekend time she’d rather spend riding bikes or packing a picnic for the park.So, we asked her to try Shipt, the same-day grocery delivery service that’s fast become a favorite for busy moms.
Andrea Mathis is a mom of two and a registered dietician whose Insta feed is chock-full of beautiful meals and delicious recipes. When she’s cooking for her family of four, she likes to keep things easy and fun, with a little bit of Southern flair. (We’re kind of obsessed with her waffle BLTs.) But even with the occasional indulgences, as a registered dietician, she’s also sure to keep everything super healthy.
Lindsay Freedman is a mom of two, a photographer, the creator of The Toasted Pine Nut, and a home cook in Orange County, CA. Translation: She’s super busy. She’s making it work though and has added an extra tool to her arsenal this fall: Shipt, a same-day grocery delivery service. We asked Lindsay to take Shipt for a spin to see how it could make mealtimes easier for her and her family.
Moms are busy people. Throw in distance learning at home, and moms become extremely busy people. Jehan Powell, mom of two and creator of the popular blog Jehan Can Cook, became acutely aware of that fact once school started up again this fall. So we got in touch with her to see how shopping with Shipt, a same-day grocery delivery service, could make life a lot easier when there are a bajillion things to take care of at home.
