About Me


My name is Rachel Berger. I am a mom of four hungry teenagers.  And they like to eat dinner every night.  And they never want the same thing twice.  And they never want leftovers.   They text, call and walk in the door asking “what’s for dinner, is dinner ready, is there any dinner?”  My response is always “I am not the dinner lady!”  Luckily, I love to cook.  I just never know WHAT to cook nor do I ever have enough time.  I thought I would use this blog to share my recipes and ideas on how to put a healthy dinner on the table, fast.  Let me know what you think, I would love to hear from you!
