Just what it sounds like: Each weekday, Jennifer Hess posts on
what she and her husband had for dinner the previous night. She’s a

goal of this blog is to help families put dinner (and lunch, breakfast
and snacks) on the table and avoid spending money eating out.”
MarthaStewart.com’s Everyday Food blog posts (among lots of other good stuff) one straightforward dinner recipe each weekday. Most take less than an hour to make.
