Hey, this is Megan with another What We're Cooking and Eating Now bonus episode.

In addition to our regular weekly episodes twice a month, we give you a real time rundown

of what we're cooking for our families.

Ideally, in each of these episodes, you'll walk all the way through one recipe and then

list five others.

So you get six easy weeknight dinner ideas that we've tested.

You can use these ideas as inspiration or literally turn them into your meal plan for next

week.

We share all the links in our free community at dinai just feed you.com backslash community. All you need to do to enter is

add your email, which we keep private, and look out for the post with all the what we're cooking

and eating now deeds. This week, though, Stacy is still on vacation. I am taking the reins

and doing something slightly different because my in real life BFF, Patty Catalano,

who you've heard in our Costco for Families episode, who's also a food editor, we are doing

our first ever combined family vacation. And I'm laughing because right before recording this, I was added to the text chain with Patty's

whole family because they do this beach vacation every year.

And I was like, Patty, let's record.

Let's do like a little bit of meal planning coordination together. And she's like, boom, here's record. Let's do like a little bit of meal planning coordination together.

And she's like, boom, here's the text thread. And here's the Emmy list. And here's what we

will be cooking and eating now while we're at the beach this week. Or it's next week for us while we're

recording. But when you guys hear it, it'll be, we will be at the beach.

So Patty, give me, give us the like the rundown of this vacation, how many people in your

family are in it and sort of like how you guys tackle meal planning for a family vacation.
