Hi, I’m Bet. Welcome to Bet On Dinner! This blog is a resource for people who love food and welcoming family and friends to the table with it. I’ll be sharing foods we’re eating, and introducing you to both our family favorites\u00a0and some of the awesome blogs and web resources I depend on for tasty recipes!\u00a0I would love to be the person who creates and perfects recipes, going all Cook’s Illustrated and tweaking ingredients and having taste tests (a staple of my childhood)…but\u00a0that’s not the phase of life I’m in. I have a new baby and a three year old who will eat\u00a0salad with balsamic dressing but not broken crackers, and I’m in the\u00a0have-to-stick-to-the-grocery-budget, dinner-on-the-table-at-5:30 phase of life\u00a0and will be for the foreseeable future. This phase works with meal planning, keeping a stash of freezer meals,\u00a0and letting my older daughter help in the kitchen\u00a0way more than is practical if you care about efficiency and clean floors. (Which I do…or I did…or I would…but YOLO, yes?)<\/p>\n

Feeding my family\u00a0“real”, minimally processed, healthy food is important to me. But so are treats. Treats are also very important.\u00a0The homemade kind, for sure (unless we’re talking about Blue Bell ice cream, which I’m willing to make All The Exceptions\u00a0for), and only occasionally (well, I’m working on that part). So join me for\u00a0breakfast, lunch, snacks, treats, and most importantly, dinner. I can’t wait to get started!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
