This list of tried and true recipes includes ones that the St. Louis Moms Blog team makes regularly for our families.

Having the whole family around the dinner table is one of the silver linings that we have been enjoying as we push the pause button on our hectic schedules. Be sure to let the kids help in the kitchen. It’s a great way to incorporate math and life skills, and cooking together is just plain fun! We hope these meal ideas help you make meal planning easier!

Carol Kerber
Carol is married with four kids, who range in age from 10 to 20-years-old. She moved to St. Louis when she was 12, and except for four years living in Southern California as a newlywed, she’s lived here since. As a Mizzou graduate, Carol began her post-college career in publishing, and then switched gears to teach early elementary. Since having kids, she has been lucky enough to stay home with them. The Kerbers call Castlewood Stables in Ballwin their home, and all of their neighbors run around on four legs. While this lifestyle seems a bit foreign to her nature, being part of the STL Mom team is just the opposite. Carol has always loved to write but had never really given that dream wings until now. Being part of the St. Louis Mom team fulfills both the editor and writer in her spirit, and she gets to write about what she knows best: being a mom.
