Meatless Friday: Fast Food at Home

Barb Szyszkiewicz highlights five quick-to-prepare family meals you can enjoy on Meatless Friday — or any day of the week.

Is your May as crazy as mine? Last weekend my younger son graduated from college, so in addition to Mother's Day, we had two full days of graduation festivities. It was wonderful to have my whole family together, but those extra-busy days made dinnertime extra challenging.
