The Six O'Clock Scramble

I got a link to the Six O'Clock Scramble on a blog post and I went to check it out.


It is a great idea for dinner and the subscription price comes with weekly menus - recipes and shopping lists for a variety of dinners that take no real thinking.


I joined for the 10 day free trial and have gotten one week's menu and am off to the grocery store for next week's dinners.


I think this is a great idea to help me get out of my rut of eating the same things over and over again and also there is no mad dash at dinner time trying to figure out what to eat.  This is where I usually order pizza.


The first week's menu include:


Pan-browned pork loins with green beans with sweet potato fries,
Halibut with caramelized red pepper sauce with couscous and maple butternut squash,
Cheesy spinach and rice casserole and green salad with sliced onions, parmesan cheese, and dried cranberries,
Rotini with sun-dried tomatoes and goat cheese with steamed artichoke hearts with baby swiss cheese, and
Vegetarian sopa poblano with avocados with homemade pita chips and pomegranates.


The recipes also give do ahead hints as well as listing out all the nutritional information.  All the recipes have about 30 minutes of prep and cooking.  The menu also includes a grocery shopping list (everything you need) to save money from buying exactly what you need.


There are also other options on the website where you can customize the weekly menu and there are selections for food allergies and restrictions as well as picking specific items if you have ingredients on hand.


I'll be back to evaluate the menu after this week.
