It's back-to-school time for all you parents out there. Well, those of you with school-age children. I'm not quite there yet. Anyhoo, I'm guessing back-to-school means schedules get crazier and bedtimes get earlier. It's probably tough trying to get a healthy, filling meal on the table for dinner. Something that your kids will actually eat.

Crustless quiche

Three-cheese macaroni
A couple of weeks ago, my coworker Jen – she of the popular Pet Tales column – asked if I had any good recipes for macaroni and cheese. Apparently she had just bought a pre-made serving of the classic pasta at a grocery store for lunch, and, well, it was disgusting. I had, in fact, …
