Quick resource for mid-week meals

A few months ago, I came across NoTakeOut, a website devoted to helping us get back into the kitchen for family dinners.

Everyday, they send an auto-email with the day’s menu plan, which includes a shopping list, preparation and cooking. A couple of my favorite things about this (free!) service, include:

- Fresh, upbeat tone
- Inclusion of a glass of wine for the chef
- Easy to read directions and work flow plan (they tell you how to coordinate the different elements of the meal so that everything is ready to be served at the same time)
- The use of seasonal and local ingredients

On today’s menu is Penne with Pancetta and Garlic & Sauteed Kale.

I recommend giving NoTakeOut a try, if you are looking for recipe inspiration. And, I am in no way compensated for this review, I just really like the concept and hope it helps one of you with dinner tonight.

    oh, I had forgotten that part! You are right, there are recipes from Mark Bittman. Bonus.

    But, aren’t we all real chefs ;-)
