Good morning, all of you on the other end of this conversation. Our first petitioner is a brand-new mom, Abigail, who returns to work from maternity leave as she drops her baby off at day care. “How can I fix super-quick but healthy dinners so I can spend my evenings with husband and our adored daughter? I’ve got to have tips, recipes, menus, shopping suggestions. And quick.” And please.
Next came a menu question, from a reader who is benefiting from physical therapy. “My excellent physical therapist asked me whether I was eating protein at every meal, as this was essential for my workouts. Oops. I need some help on this, how to get protein at every meal and maybe some easy recipes.”
Teri Purvis has a well-marked and edited copy of this gumbo recipe, originally she thinks from Southern Living magazine.
