What do you do when you need to make dinner, but you have a million other things that are dinging, pulling at you, and driving you bonkers? We’ve got you covered with easy, low-stress recipes that are a lifeline on busy nights.
Summer is winding down, energies are shifting, and I’m coming to you with exciting news today:
We are about to kick off the SOS Series for Fall 2024!
This is the third-ever installment of the SOS Series and it will be lots more of the stuff we love: easy, delicious, big flavor, low-to-no-stress-style dinner recipes!
We’ll have one new recipe per week to take us through the months of September and October! Fall is my favorite cooking season.
What Is The SOS Series?
A little backstory if you’re unfamiliar: I started the SOS Series in April of 2021. It was developed as a way to help my own self get through a really challenging season – adjusting to life with a new baby, while wrangling the tiny toddler tornado, while trying to get back to work, while keeping one eye out for Covid, while ultimately trying to not totally lose my mind every night at dinnertime. It was a season of takeout, frozen meals, and snacks for dinner, and while I love chips and salsa as much as the next person, there just comes a time in your life where you say: Okay, I’ve eaten enough chips. I need to make a proper meal.
At the heart of my struggle was the lack of time and energy: I love to cook and I wanted to eat good food that was actually delicious, exciting, and wholesome… but I was (am?) so tired.
This was the beginning of my passion for easy-ish recipes. My ultimate qualifiers for any SOS-style recipes:
- Can we make this with a short list of easy-to-find ingredients?
- Can we get this on the table quickly?
- Am I super excited to eat the leftovers?
- And mostly, will this recipe give me (and my family) a few moments of joy as we fill up our plates?
When Does The Series Start?
The SOS Series kicks off on Tuesday, September 10.
We’ll be sharing new recipes here on the blog every week throughout the 8-week series!

What Kind Of Recipes Can I Look Forward To?
There are SO MANY GOOD RECIPES to look forward to in this series!
Protein is a big focus in our house right now, so I really tried to anchor all of these recipes around protein more than ever before! Nothing new, no powders or add-ins or special ingredients, and no macro counting for me personally.
That said, I am just trying to be more aware and making sure each meal naturally packs a good amount of protein, and that has definitely translated into more protein-forward recipes for this run of the series! We have chicken, turkey, tofu, beef – a little bit of everything coming your way.
One Last Personal Note
These recipes are for everyone who has ever felt the pressure at dinnertime.
Whether you are feeling overwhelmed at work, dealing with physical or mental health challenges, attempting to manage a household of babies and kiddos, or just having an off day, my hope is that these SOS meals are here for you to deliver a really doable, fun, wholesome, delicious dinner option as a lifeline. Honestly, I hope they feel like a hug.
The personal stories you have shared over the years on our previous rounds of SOS recipes have been truly transformative for me. We have heard from people going through chemo, people dealing with chronic depression and anxiety, people in the thick of it with babies and kids, people who are working overtime at demanding jobs, and just a general chorus of “please do more of these recipes.”
In addition to just making what I love to eat and what works for my family, your real life stories have served as my guiding light when I’ve been creating these recipes.
I am so excited to do this again with you!
See you back here on Tuesday!
