Clik here to view. send 7 dinners, recipes and a shopping lists. They have an app. I check off what we have before I hit the store and then pick up everything I need–checking it off in the app as I go. It is fabulous. We have thoroughly enjoyed having new, delicious, healthy, homecooked meals.
For fun, I thought I would share our week’s worth of dinners along with one of the fabulous recipes.

Today I am sharing the Spicy Meatballs in Fire-Roasted Marinara with Baked Spaghetti Squash, because it was a family favorite! This recipe takes about 15 minutes to prep and 30 minutes to cook for a total of 45 minutes. We added a side of broccoli, because there is no such thing as too many vegetables. These are photos I shot with my phone while making a real dinner for my real family while a real child clung to my leg–so no, they don’t look like a Better Homes & Gardens spread. Super tasty and yummy though!

For the squash, you will want to preheat the oven to 425. Cut the squash in half and drizzle olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the squash, cut sides down, in a baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake squash 30 minutes or until fork-tender.
