This time around, I composed a simple weekday menu that is healthy and delicious from recent submissions on Tastespotting.
What’s for dinner is a question that becomes hard to answer day after day. My menu can save you time or at least, inspire you.
My goal is to give you practical options. At the same time, you will discover or be reminded of wonderful blogs by foodies.

Your old submissions to Tastespotting live again. I am glad I added new Google Alerts on my blog name yesterday because this is how I found out that Tastespotting is back online.
We know more about the big saga that led to the temporary close down of Tastespotting. A business split occurred between Jean of NOTCOT and Sarah J. Gim, the editor of Tastespotting.
Sarah is now the owner of Tastespotting. She continues to run the hugely popular food porn site. The front end and back end systems of Tastespotting had to be rebuilt. It is still almost at part with the original site.
What Is Lacking?
One important feature that is lacking is the preview of a submission. In an interview to Food Interviews, Sarah said that they are working on an improved version of the Preview function. The upcoming Submission Preview will give the users more powered than the original one. It should be ready in a week or two.

When I was young, the Sunday night was a more formal dinner affair at my home.
A Sunday family dinner is a worthwhile ritual that brings everyone closer together. It is the perfect time to have uninterrupted discussions. Schedule one for next Sunday and see the benefits.
We can all enjoy a casual yet stylish meal with our family or friends. I composed this seasonal dinner menu out of recipes featured on Tastespotting.
Since this is not an everyday dinner, why not starts the meal with an aperitif?
The first courses
You can serve a salad followed by a fish appetizer.
