Last week, I introduced you to Aviva Goldfarb, the founder of The Six O’Clock Scramble. She’s also a mom, cookbook author, and regular food contributor for national magazines and Web sites. Aviva knows food and she’s developed an innovative, simple way for moms – like you and me – to create delicious, nutritious meals for their families.
I love The Six o’Clock Scramble!
The Six O’Clock Scramble is an online dinner planning service that has made my weekly menu and grocery shopping ritual fun and easy. Each week, Aviva sends a ready-made menu that includes meals for five days. You can either print the menu as-is or customize it to your family’s unique taste.
For example, the current week’s menu includes a recipe for Honey Sesame Spaghetti, but since one of the ingredients is soy sauce and my son is allergic to soybeans, I swapped that meal out for Not My Mom’s Sloppy Joes. I also added a sixth meal since we only eat out once a week.
Then, it’s as simple as printing your menu plan, which includes a grocery shopping list so that you’ll have every ingredient you need for the week’s meals.
Here’s what I love about The Scramble:
- Flexible meal plans: Aviva sends you a weekly menu, but you can customize it as you wish . Search from tons of yummy recipes by ingredient, meal type or nutritional requirements (i.e. low-fat, nut-free, gluten-free, etc.).
- Simple recipes: Although Aviva is a food expert, she has created approachable, easy-to-make recipes using simple ingredients and methods.
- Delicious meals: The recipes may be simple, but the taste is amazing! Your family will love Aviva’s tasty recipes.
- Organized meal and grocery plans: Aviva includes a personal touch to each recipe, along with nutritional information, serving suggestions and tips to boost flavor. Plus, the grocery list is organized by aisle, making your shopping for the week trip quick and easy.
- Affordable: For less than $5 a month you can enjoy the calm that comes with knowing what’s for dinner every night of the week. Aviva takes all the guesswork out of meal and grocery planning, leaving you time to enjoy your family. Now that’s priceless.

My biggest meal time challenge is coming up with new ideas for meals. My family gets tired of the same old meals every week and so do I. The 6 o’clock Scramble sounds great!

My biggest challenge is making something for all of us – 2 adults, a 3yo and a 1yo (no teeth!). So far, spaghetti seems to be a big hit, but I could use some new ideas!
I also joined the Six O’Clock Scrambler’s group on Facebook! Thanks!!
Honestly, I struggle with it all. With new recipes, I go to the store and stock up on one-off ingredients for said recipes, lose the recipes, and then never use the ingredient (or it goes bad). Then I wind up making homemade mac & cheese for the third time that week and put peas in even though nobody eats them because it makes me feel less guilty. Clearly my system does not work.
For old recipes, the problem is really only that they’re old and tired. And we are ALL tired of old and tired.
I do want to add that my kids are coming out of the crazy hot-dogs-only mentality and are beginning to try new things for the first time since they were two, so I’d like to get going on a better dinner routine now, while they’re still culinarily curious.
