🎉🎉 Introducing: three-for-three: 3 simple things --> 3 family-friendly meals

[good tofu / baked brown rice / buttery broccoli]

Hi all!

I’m very excited to introduce a new ‘column’ I hope to share once a month or so. It’s called THREE-FOR-THREE.

It includes 3 simple items you can prepare ahead and then 3 fun, DIFFERENT meals you can turn those items into.

All of the food is family-friendly, which is just my way of saying relaxed, simple and tasty. Family is up to you to define. It can include kids or animals (or not). It can include multiple generations, spouses or partners, roommates, neighbors….whatever!

THREE-FOR-THREE is the most true way to show you how I really cook at home and set myself (and my family) up for success every week. What do I mean by success here? I mean having an easygoing relationship with cooking and eating. I mean having dinnertime feel uneventful but not boring.

My goal with this newsletter, and with all of my work, has always been to help you feel calm + empowered in your kitchen. Why does this matter to me? Because it makes our day-to-day lives less stressful and more connected to each other. I really think THREE-FOR-THREE will help us all feel this way.

A few notes:

• The recipes will always be plentiful and easy to multiply if you’re feeding more people than I am.

• If the recipes aren’t vegetarian, I will give you notes on how to make them vegetarian.

• There will always be notes for more ideas/variations.

• You don’t have to turn the three basic things into the other things. You can just enjoy them as they are!!

• You don’t have to make all three meals — you can use the three components to just make one or two. You can do WHATEVER YOU WANT!!!

• None of this is prescriptive. As with everything I offer, it’s all just a big suggestion.

  

Recipes/notes for everything and a full grocery list are available for paid subscribers. And a PDF of it all. Want all of that?? Become a paid subscriber today! KC&CO is just $5/month or $50/year (and the price hasn’t changed since I launched the newsletter over three years ago).

A quick newsletter logistic note that I don’t imagine anyone actually cares about, but just for clarity: on weeks when I share “THREE-FOR-THREE” on a Tuesday, that will replace ‘I Love Lunch’ that week. Thursday will still be a grab bag!

Make these three simple things:

• Good Tofu

• Baked Brown Rice

• Buttery Broccoli

And turn them into these three family-friendly meals:

• Brown Rice ‘Risotto’ with Sausage + Broccoli

• Tofu Teriyaki Bowls

• Tofu Reubens + Broccoli-Cheddar Soup

Below, for paid subscribers, all of the recipes/notes, plus a grocery list for EVERYTHING! And a PDF of it all!

In the fridge waiting for you to turn into three delicious meals!!
