The Six OClock Scramble Makes Dinner Time Easier and Healthier for Busy Parents and Kids
Weekly e-mail of easy, healthy, delicious dinner recipes and a grocery list can help busy parents at bewitching hour
(PRWEB) February 15, 2005 -- A scene many parents can relate to: It's six o'clock in the evening, the kids are getting cranky, you're starving, and you need to whip up something to feed the family. You care about nutrition and you never pictured yourself as the kind of mom or dad who would feed your family something out of a bag, a box or a can every night. Yet you only have about half an hour until all hell breaks loose--or at least until meltdowns begin.
Feeding your family a healthy meal that even the kids will like no longer requires hours pouring through cookbooks or trips to multiple grocery stores-obstacles that prevent many parents from even trying. The Six OClock Scramble (www.thescramble.com), a weekly email newsletter, provides five dinner recipes and a corresponding grocery list to its subscribers. Most take 30 minutes or less to prepare and have fewer than ten ingredients.
The Six OClock Scramble is the brainchild of Aviva Goldfarb, a writer, cook, and mother of two. She is co-author of the family cookbook Peanut Butter Stew and Couscous, Too: Quick, Healthy Delicious Meals that Grown Ups and Kids Love, and the upcoming The Six OClock Scramble Cookbook (St. Martins Press, Fall 2005). The Six OClock Scramble has been featured in O", The Oprah Magazine, The Washington Post, the Arizona Republic and Parents Perspective, among many other newspapers, magazines and radio shows.
The Six O'Clock Scramble is every parent's answer to the dinnertime dilemma: How can I feed my family one simple, healthy meal that they all will enjoy? And how can I do it quickly while the kids are clamoring for attention?" according to Goldfarb. These recipes are tried and true favorites," Goldfarb said. If I wouldnt feed it to my family, I wouldnt send it to your family."
Having a weekly menu sent directly to their email address allows parents to shop only once each week for ingredients, avoiding those last minute emergency trips to the grocery store-a big time and money saver. Also, it prevents busy parents from having to think too much at the hectic dinner hour about what to prepare--the menu is ready for them.
The variety and balance are so refreshing. My kids have tried so many new foods and liked them! My son loves salmon and my daughter loves zucchini and spinach. I can't believe it!," said Sheila Keefe, a subscriber from Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.
The Six OClock Scramble has subscribers in all 50 states and many countries. Monthly subscriptions of four to five weekly issues cost $4.95. To subscribe, please visit www.thescramble.com or send an e-mail to aviva@thescramble.com.
