I’ve been using recipes from Aviva Goldfarb’s The Six O’Clock Scramble: Quick, Healthy, and Delicious Dinner Recipes for Busy Families for a while now, and it’s a must have even for you busy-but-frugal yuppies that don’t have a lot of time but are getting sick of that “take out” taste of food you don’t make yourself.
Unlike usual recipe books, this one organizes meals in the form of weekly menus, grouped by season, that then translate into your shopping list for the week. (If you follow an entire week’s shopping list, she has them on her Six O’Clock Scramble web site, too.)

Next time you’re ordering a burrito at the counter and see the stainless steel container of shredded meat behind the counter, tip your hat to whatever hands had to pull that meat apart (and hope that they wore gloves, or instead held a coupla forks to do the job).
I had a hankering for making carnitas after a mother of one of the girls I coached would make the dish and bring it to the tournaments. It was tasty, and she was Asian, so I figured whatever flavors she got was surely reproducible.
